If I create a shortcut to a file and then subsequently move the file,
the shortcut no longer works (error message: "The item ... that this
shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no
longer work properly.") When I do this on my XP-Pro machine, XP will
generally find the moved file and update the shortcut; if it can't find
the file, it will give me the option to browse for the moved file.
Vista, on the other hand, either makes no effort to find the file or
just isn't very good at finding it; furthermore, it doesn't give me the
option to browse; it just displays the error message with "Do you want
to delete this shortcut? Yes/No". Is there something that needs to be
set or turned on (a registry key, maybe?) to enable Vista to find the
moved file?
