All links to a program are missing.
Yesterday I tried to open Photoshop by using the desktop icon but got the “Missing Icon” message. Then I tried Start> Programs and got the same message. I tried every other way I could think of but nothing worked. Photoshop 6 is still on the programs list and on the Install/Uninstall list, so I assume it is still on the hard drive, but all the links are gone. Does anyone know of a way to restore the links? (I’m on windows 98.) Any help would be appreciated.

I have come across many situations where the user has gone into Windows Explorer and inadvertantly slipped with the mouse. Could it be that the Photoshop directory, and all subdirectories have been cut and pasted somewhere else - could be anywhere. Do a search of the entire C drive for the photoshop directory, then move it back to where it should be, if found.

I hope I’m putting my response in the right place.
Good advice, all, but nothing helped. I wound up doing what I was trying to avoid: I deleted all links and reinstalled Photoshop. What happened is still a mystery but the problem is no longer a problem. Thanks all.

restart the machine and check what happens
