I've had good luck using Registry Mechanic to fix various types of registry problems. It's not free, but it well worth the $30. A PC can feel like new.
Another problem can occur due to networked servers being referenced in shortcuts (including the icon). If the Server is replaced with a new one with a different name then you will be waiting for network timeouts. This is most annoying and it can be tedious to examine each one. Directory listing in Explorer with the Comments field added can help.
