Windows 7 deletes “broken” network shortcuts

7′s computer maintenance will delete all broken network shortcuts if you have more than 4 of them on your desktop. If the computer loses connection to the drive for whatever reason, then icons that point to the network drive letter get deleted because they are “broken”. Here is the work around.

Go to C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance and edit the file TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1. You may have to take ownership of it to edit it.
Comment out lines 12-21 by putting a # in front of each line. Save.
This basically returns a blank list so that no shortcuts get deleted when they get “Broken”.

Numerous taskeng.exe processes in windows Vista

It has to do with a failing IE feed reader scheduled task, which as it happens runs every 5 minutes!
solution:

  1. Open Task Scheduler 
  2. In the left pane of task scheduler, underneath Task Scheduler Local, click on Task Scheduler Library.
  3. In the View submenu, make sure the Show Hidden Tasks option is checked.
  4. Find the User_Feed_Synchronization, followed by a dash and a bunch of digits inside a curly brace.
  5. Select that task in the middle pane by clicking on its name.
  6. To verify that this scheduled task is creating all those taskeng.exe processes, select the History tab in the middle pane near the middle of the screen. If you expand out the Level and Date and Time Columns, you should see a bunch of errors and date and times that are 5 minutes apart. If that’s the case, then this task is the problem.
  7. On the rightmost pane, select Disable.
