Invalid Shortcut Remover for Windows
Invalid shortcuts, when you let them grow over time, could make your computer runs slower. Every time you uninstall an application, its shortcut will stay until you manually remove it.

Say you have scattered shortcuts all over the places from start menu, desktop, application data, folders, subfolders, or wherever they are, this free program will handle everything. After a few seconds of scanning, you will be able to select which shortcuts to be removed or you can just wipe those all out to give your harddisk more space.

All in all, it is truly a handy solution for invalid shortcut problem, especially if you have uninstalled many applications but clueless about where the shortcuts are located.
