'restart_vs.lnk' unavailable????

[Bud W.]

Whenever I reboot, I get the following error message:

The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'restart_vs.lnk'
refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or
the network is available, and then try again.

Any ideas as to where I start to correct and/or eliminate this problem?

Thanks, Bud

to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.
