Shortcut Error Message Handling (Optional)

• Display message and do not correct problem (Default)
  
• Correct problem with message
  
• Correct problem with no message to user
  

Users will change things which they shouldn't be mucking with.   Or you may decide to move the folders in which various files reside.  This option will allow you to fix the the shortcut or batch/command file without even telling them.  The utility will continue executing after displaying these messages.

Remarks

You can also use environment variables in the Target Folder, Server and shortcut lines.  These must have %s around them.  These are the same variables you can see when you run the SET command in the command prompt window.  Examples would be %APPDATA%, %USERPROFILE%,  %HOMEDRIVE% or %HOMEPATH%
