Missing Applications

[One_man_in_a_van]

Hello,

 

I was recently messing around trying to uninstall some old software when I made a catastrophic mistake. To be honest I don't know what I did and wanted to see if any of you could help me out. I am running a pc with a combo ssd hdd setup and somehow every application I had on my hdd produces an error when I click on the shortcut. The error reads "This shortcut has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will not work properly. Also, the icons for each shortcut now appear as a blank piece of paper. Since most off the applications on my hard drive are steam games, I attempted to uninstall and reinstall steam but that didn't seem to help and now steam doesn't recognize these games are installed. Weirdly though if I search my hdd in file manager, the games appear and I can even run them without opening the steam client.

 

Any Thoughts?

 

Help would be much appreciated!

Run a restore point to the date before you messed up...

I didn't know that was a thing, so i didn't have one set up, and it looks like they are disabled by default.

Just check that shortcuts and compare to games path. You probably just moved some directory by accident.
