LiNK Fixer - batch update .LNK files

[hamasaki]

Recently I had to change the drive number where I had a number of .lnk links within sub directories and needed a tool to batch update paths.

I found this useful little portable utility:

LiNK Fixer

LiNK Fixer is a small, free, simple Windows accessory which does search and replace text inside ".lnk" files, aka. Windows shortcuts, re-linking them to the correct target. If you move some files, folders, or even a whole drive (perhaps to a new drive letter), LiNK Fixer can correct the shortcut's internal path, so that it works again. Simple as that.

Is portable via a LiNK Fixer.ini file.

There are some other utilities too, but not checked them out.

Reminds me a little of Skwire's SCURLed: viewtopic.php?p=92472#p92472

Yes, similar, but with Jody's software you have to open the links individually and then apply a batch operation. It doesn't scan through a directory.
