ABSTRACT:
A method of correcting broken software links includes providing a computer data storage having target files and master files. Each master file includes a pointer to a storage location where at least one target file called by the master file resides. A link-id is determined for each target file and is stored in each master file configured to call the target file. The target file is then either renamed or moved so that each master file configured to call the target file cannot locate it from the pointer data. The target file is then located on the computer data storage based on a match between the link-id for the target file and the link-id stored in the calling master file. The data comprising the pointer of the master file is then updated whereupon it can locate the target file on the computer data storage.
