I hate it when games uninstall themselves, but leave shortcuts in my start menu, I had about 3 years olf old shortcuts cleaned up in about 3 seconds.

It not onlly removes the broken links, but then tidies up the empty shortcut folders too.

Nice little prog, does exactly what it says. Minimum Hassle.
