I have a folder (in Windows) containing a lot of shortcuts to different files in different subdirectories of the folder “Important” on the disk C:.
Now I need to transfer the whole folder “Important” to the disk D:.
How to change all shortcuts so that they will point to the new destinations?
(Nothing but the drive letter will be changed in the destination paths.)
If you're running on an NTFS system, there is a Windows service called Distributed Link Tracking Client. In short, it tracks where you move files to, so that if you have shortcuts that point to a file that was moved, the shortcut gets updated automatically.
In other words, you could just move your Important folder, and the shortcuts should continue to work.
