Release the explorer handbrake

Microsoft(R) Windows(R) sometimes hangs in fileopen-dialogs or in explorer in general. One possible cause is that some of your shortcuts (*.lnk) files point to non existant network targets. For me it took exactly 72 seconds to get a responsive fileopen-dialog when trying to attach a file with Outlook(R) on my work computer. I wrote a small utility that can help you to find shortcuts that point to non existant (or no longer existant) UNC-paths (\\server\share). For me and a lot of my colleagues this was exactly what we need to remove the „handbrake“ from Windows(R) Explorer(R). – The tool was written with the AutoIT Scripting language and you can download and use it free of charge.
