Finding All Shortcuts to a File

You can use the Find command to locate all the shortcuts pointing to a particular file. Select the Find command from the Start menu or from the Tools menu in Explorer. Select the Advanced tab and choose Shortcut from the Of Type list. In the Containing Text field type the name of the file or the directory name. Make sure that the Case Sensitive option is not checked under the Options menu and then click Find Now. A list of all the shortcuts pointing to your specific target file or directory will be generated. The Find command dialog box is illustrated in Figure 27. There might be many more than you expected.
