Yes, LinkFixerPlus has been specifically designed to move or rename batches of files and folders without causing broken links. This can be done by using either the “Inoculate” and “Cure” processes or the “Rename/Move” process. The most common method of moving files and/or reorganizing folder structures without causing broken links would include the following steps: 1. Running the “inoculate” process on all of the files prior to them being moved. (This process prepares all of the files so that the links they contain can be automatically fixed after they are moved.) 2. Moving the files to the new location and/or new folder structure using Windows Explorer or any other desired method. 3. Running the “cure” process to automatically fix all of links in the moved files that were broken as a result of the move.
