the element to which this shortcut refers is ...

Question

Hello,    Configuration: Windows Vista / Internet Explorer 8.0  I have a huge problem. While making a mistaken manipulation, I moved my code.txt file, which is a Notepad file from the start menu, to my desktop, and since then I can no longer open it. It says: "The item code.txt that this shortcut refers to has been modified or moved, so it no longer works properly." I don't know how to resolve this problem; I urgently need help as there are many very important codes in this file. Thank you in advance.

The target is a directory (e.g., "C:\Users\***\Documents"). What is this directory? What is inside it?

Yes, that's true, all that's left is to check the trash can!

I already tried the file name, but it only finds the shortcuts that don't work. So I tried putting the shortcut in the recycle bin without deleting it and searched, but it finds nothing. Then I tried with Recuva in case it was deleted, but I couldn't find a way to recover it.
