Fix broken shortcut on external hard drive

Last response: in Storage

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I tried to do as you instructed.

However, when I click on the "security" tab, a window pops up, saying that the name of the target file is incorrect. (I found these files in Recent Places.)

The boxes in "Advanced" are grayed out so that I can't click on anything.

Help!

I tried to access the files using both search and recent places. After clicking on properties, I tried to click on the security tab. But a window popped up, saying the file name was invalid.

How can I get to the files directly in order to take ownership when they don't show up on the external hard drive directory?

Thanks for your help.
