OrphansRemover
« on: June 12, 2009, 10:51:12 AM »
Orphans Remover searches and deletes shortcuts (*.lnk files) with an invalid target in the given folders and subfolders, like your Start menu, Recent documents, etc. These so called orphans are typically the result of uninstalled programs, deleted or moved documents.

Orphans Remover is Freeware with no ads, no nag screens and no limitations.

Found about 20'sh on my system, although wouldn't really do much harm to have Orphans, it's just another tool that can be used to keep your system clean.

    I couldn't find any orphans. Perhaps I should have asked the Beadle?   ;)
