Windows 10: Target for a folder full of links will be moved

I have a folder that contains links to programs that reside in various other folders, called SysTools. I like to have the links for tools I use for various things in one place.

I'm copying the SysTools folder to my Laptop and need to change all the Target drives from D:\..... to C:\.....
Anyone know of a program that can do this in bulk or the Powershell command that could do this?

If there were only a few I'd do it manually but there are over 70 so some automation would be nice.

:)

 

Unable to print test page and from other applications on Windows 10

Correct. When you move the Temp folder, Permissions in the target is inherited. You just have to add yourself full control permissions for the folder. Microsoft KBs (support articles) don't cover every issue. Unfortunately searching the internet / forums
is the only way to find solutions for most of the Windows issues.

 

Capture folder for Xbox App

The error message is that I can't move the contents of the E: drive into a child folder. Liquidlearners post is great but does not help in my situation. It would be great if a patch was done to allow the user to browse and pick a folder for the captures
to be saved in. Again my issue is that I accidentally assigned the whole E: drive to be the target for the captures. At that point it no longer allows me to move the target location beacause you can't move a whole drive into a folder within a drive.

 

I found some of what I need.

Code: $shell = New-Object -COM WScript.Shell $targetPath = $shell.CreateShortcut($FullLinkPath).TargetPath[/quote] This gets me the existing Target path when I give it the fully qualified path to the link.

I think this will replace D:\ with C:\

Code: $newtargetpath = "$targetpath" -replace 'D:\' C:\'[/quote] Now how do I update the Target path in the original link?

Would something like

Code: $shell.TargetPath = $newtargetpath[/quote] do the trick?
