Missing shortcut errors

Steve Frost · Post by **Steve Frost** » 3 Apr 2004 8:06 am

I'm being aggravated by this error message,as well as 20 or so others on startup:
"The shortcut 'MORZE5.Ink' refers to a location that is unavailable. The location could be on a hard drive on this computer, on a netword, or on a different computer on your home network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or home network, and then try again. "
I googled Morze5.ink and found I am not alone in my consternation. I've run Adaware and Spybot to no avail- they found plenty of stuff, but didn't get this problem. Anybody have a fix?

I realized after the fact that I misnamed the post. The shortcuts aren't missing. I guess they' re remnants from spyware that was nuked by the Spybot or Adaware programs. Any ideas how to finish cleaning this up?
