How can I check for dead shortcuts on my system?

A. The Windows 2000 resource kit supplies Chklnks.exe which will check all your systems shortcuts and if the target of the shortcut is not found it will give the option to delete one or all of the dead shortcuts.

To use just start the Chklnks.exe application, click Next and select the dead shortcuts to remove.

The utility also runs on NT 4 boxes with no obvious problems.
