Can you use the search feature to search for all of your shortcuts

[Karen_S]

Hi!

I need to locate all of the shortcuts I have made for my NotePad and
OpenOffice documents. I know that I can search for all of the NotePad
'documents' by putting "*.txt", etc., in the search box, but I don't know how
to search for the shortcuts.

I don't know which documents have shortcuts, and that's why I need to do a
search for all of the shortcuts. I can't use the document names to find
them.

I am bedridden and ill, and I have to make shortcuts to documents to help
cross-reference all of infomation I have to keep track of through the day
regarding my health.

Thank you so much for your time!

Happy day!

I just wanted to apologize for the typo of the word "information" above.

Do a search for *.lnk to find all shortcuts.

They were probably replaced with the Desktop when you did the SR. But,
you can do a search for *.lnk and see if they're found that way,
possibly in a restore point.. I'm not sure that's possible. If so, try
to copy them to the Desktop, or write down their names so you can locate
them easier.
