I need to uncreate shortcuts

[Guest]

Can anyone help me? I copied some photos onto my computer from my E drive (a
digital camera memory stick reader and writer) Unfortunately I did not
realize I copied them as shortcuts and I deleted the originals from my E
drive. Now I have a folder full of photos labeled as shortcuts and I can't
e-mail, edit or move them. Instead I get a memo that says "Problem with
Shortcut The item that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so
this shortcut will no longer work properly" Is there any way I can save the
photos as originals? Please help, I'm desperate!!

No.

You can not save the data as originals because the necessary data was
deleted.

Your only slim hope is to recover the data from the memory stick:

A Shortcut is nothing more than a roadsign telling you whether to turn right
or left. After that, you're on your own. You've deleted that data/pictures.
It is possible, if you have not formatted the memory stick, to retrieve the
photos with a 3rd party restorer.
The below free program may help, but I'm not sure if it will work on a
memory stick. You can download it to a floppy disk. Restorer (Rest2514.exe)
