Description:
Prevents the system from conducting a comprehensive search of the target drive to resolve a shortcut.
By default, when the system cannot find the target file for a shortcut (.lnk), it searches all paths associated with the shortcut. If the target file is located on an NTFS partition, the system then uses the target's file ID to find a path. If the resulting path is not correct, it conducts a comprehensive search of the target drive in an attempt to find the file.
If you enable this setting, the system does not conduct the final drive search. It just displays a message explaining that the file is not found.
Note
Also, see the "Do not track Shell shortcuts during roaming" and the "Do not use the tracking-based method when resolving shell shortcuts" settings.
