RegCure Optimizes Your Program Shortcuts
Whether or not you recognize them by the jargon, you depend on “program shortcuts” every day: You probably know them as the icons with little arrows in the lower left corners. You double-click the arrow and your favorite programs and applications spring instantly to life as if by digital magic. You may also see references to program shortcuts when you periodically clean-up your desktop, because you see prompts for storing unused icons, most of which represent program shortcuts you once installed and then never clicked.
Problems in Program Shortcuts
Problems with program shortcuts typically originate in “uninstalls.” Neither you nor any commonly available software program completely can scour your hard drive or file registry. Therefore, when you uninstall programs and applications, traces and fragments remain—especially program shortcuts. If you have used desktop icons to mark program shortcuts, they remain visible on your desktop or in your tool tray even after the application has disappeared from your start menu; and, even after you delete the icons, their signatures may remain in your file registry. If you subsequently install an upgraded or updated version of the same program or application, the old signatures may guide the CPU to the old information, triggering an error message telling you that the system cannot run your new and improved software. Running your registry cleaner immediately after an uninstall minimizes the risk of these difficulties.
"Orphaned" files are the second leading cause of program shortcut errors: both the program and the shortcut are still installed on your local disk, and the program itself runs fine when you open it; but you have lost the link between the program and its shortcut—essentially the same as problems with file associations.
Connecting Shortcut Errors
Correct shortcut errors by running your registry cleaner. RegCure either will delete obsolete or broken shortcuts, or it will restore the missing links between orphaned files and the applications they represent. RegCure performs these operations safely and precisely, and it generally tunes-up and optimizes your entire system in less than five minutes.
