Problem with shortcut
Every time I click steam, a message pops up saying 'The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Steam.Ink' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again.' Please help?

Have you moved or altered your Steam install location?

Hazarding a guess, your Steam lives on a secondary harddrive that has been disconnected..?

No. Also, if I bring the steam install up it says Error 1327. Invalid drive F:/

Are you able to manually locate your Steam folder?

Well, that's pretty sucky...

Looks like you'll have to reinstall Steam! Yikes! Honestly not sure what could have caused that...

I can't imagine a malicious program deleting it as they'll target more sensitive information, but you might want to consider running virus checks and all that.

If you angered a sibling yesterday, maybe they deleted the folder? :meatytears:

I would suggest repairing Steam. You should be able to if you redownload the steam installer from the website. Be sure to run it as administrator.

Or, go to Control Panel, and either Programs and Features or Add/Remove programs (depending on Windows version), and find Steam. Right click it, and then choose "Repair".

%%%%%% MY FIX %%%%%%%

Right click on the steam icon, and see what drive this link is pointing to.
Check to see if that drive exists in My Computer, it either does, and its the wrong one, or its not there.

all you have to so is go into Disk management by right clicking the "my Computer" icon and select disk management.

select this disk that is supposed to be a different letter, and right click on it to assign it to the correct drive letter.

This fixed my issue, it my fix yours.
