Shortcut fixer -- no such tool now in PT

Start menu fixer (Vista)
RC1 finds no broken shortcuts.
PT v.1.4.1 finds the eight shown in the thumbnail. ...
"Why does tullik use PT v.1.4.1," you might ask.
I don't use it for much, but it is the last PT that had a feature that searches for broken shortcuts outside the start menu and desktop.
I recommend you add back the feature using the improved technology (tabbed tool windows, preference saving features) of more current PT versions.
An approach might follow these lines:
- 1. Tool window has five tabs (Start menu, Desktop, Other, Search in, and Ignore words)
2. Each of the first three tabs has its own set of appropriate checkboxes
3. Other (if activated) uses the "Search in" tab, which is only used by "Other"
4. The first three tabs are independent (that is, one, two, or all three can be activated at the same time)
5. The Other tab has a new radio button, "List only" -- the broken shortcuts are only found and listed -- no fix is looked for or recommended (could be fast ...)
6. The results list (similar to the current Start Menu Fixer list) has a new button, "Recommend a fix." It causes a fix search for selected "List only" lines
7. It is quite reasonable that the fix search be limited to the "Search in" path where the broken shortcut lives ...
Perhaps this could be considered for PT2008.
