It seems to me that in the Issue Analyzation section only the file integrity (target existence) for
shortcuts on the desktop and start menu is verified.

Why not introducing an extended option to check the file integrity of shortcuts which are located somewhere
in the directory of lets say the partition D:\ as well?

I agree with your suggestion! I wish the verification of shortcuts would check the whole system as well. It's been many years since I used an MS tool located on the Win98 install CD (don't remember that MS tool name) that would find invalid shortcuts anywhere. It's been far to many times where I've found a dead shortcut in the SendTo folder or elsewhere.

By the way there is a Suggestions thread.
Complexity of incoherent design.
