• LNKs not resolving(?)

  Hi Jean, 
  I'm seeing another odd thing...  Again, this worked before, but after my reinstall, it's not working.  
  
  I have a folder with LNK files.  The links mostly point to exe files, though a couple point to ahk files.  I add the folder as a menu item, then set the folder as "Live Folder" with "Include documents" checked.  The items do appear (top part of screenshot), but if I click on one of the items, I get the message box seen in the middle.  
  
  If I try to add a single item as a "Document" menu item, I get the message in the bottom part of the screenshot.
  
  Note that these links do work...  I can double-click one from Windows Explorer and it opens the item as expected.  
  
  Any ideas what's going on?

  Are you sure, the file "S:\...\SimpleSpy.exe" exists because QAP display this message if the AHK command FileExist() return false.

  The message "... Path does not exist. Check the path..." is not displayed by QAP itself. Can you explain when it is displayed?

  I think I seem my problem...  These are on my secondary SSD.  It used to be designated "S:" but when I reinstalled Win 10, it got renamed "D:". 
  
  If I right-click the link, then go to Properties, you can see (yellow highlights in image) that the paths were updated by Windows, and show the new "D".  HOWEVER...  The error message suggests that QAP is trying to Run the original path with the "S" in it....
  
  No doubt this is also why several of the LNK files have generic Windows icon images.  (They used to all my ahk exe or ahk doc icons.) 
  
  I assume that I can fix this by re-making my folder full of LNK files.  
  
  
  
  
  EDIT: All good... I manually corrected the paths in my LNK files. All is well now. Thanks Jean!
