App's for slightly twisting this post's string, but Googling and forum searches, led me here to people who seem capable of doing what many are confronted with not knowing how to do it, ie; I've got 6,000 plus shortcuts on an external hard drive (cross referencing files in other folders throughout the EHD) and half of these shortcuts list the wrong drive letter for 'start in' and 'target'.
Since 'we' have to live with EHD's drive letters changing rather rogue-ishly, once the shortcut problem is noticed, it's usually pretty late and so to avoid the monumental task of manually changing the drive lettering in numerous shortcut's properties (where users inadvertantly create shortcuts without noticing the EHD drive letter is not what 'we' expect), I've found only this forum's members addressing how to enmass change shortcuts.
Again, my issue (as well as I'm sure for many, many other users too) is that I/We have many, many folders on an external hard drive and each folder contains many shortcuts to files located in that external hard drive's other folders, but half of these shortcuts have the 'wrong' drive lettering listed in the shortcut properties 'start in' and 'target'.
So if some generous person could illustrate here how to write the scrpting for such a 'powersshell.pf1' file, I'm sure many. many other users would immensely appreciate it.
