Orphans Remover description
OrphansRemover searches and deletes shortcuts (*.lnk files) with an invalid target

OrphansRemover will search and delete shortcuts (*.lnk files) with an invalid target in the given folders and subfolders, like your Start menu, Recent documents, etc.

These so called orphans are typically the result of uninstalled programs, deleted or moved documents.

For automation purposes there are several command-line switches you can use.
The following switches correspond with the checkboxes in program interface:

· favorites
· history
· recent
· temppath

These switches can be used to automate the start, delete and exit process with the interface visible.
