No Frills Timer (keeps track of the amount of time you spend connected to the Internet)

It can be placed in the Startup folder, so it runs at system
startup. If the shortcut was left in the folder, and the
body of the program was removed, that might be the reason
the system has attempted to evaluate "NF Timer.lnk" shortcut
and failed.

A shortcut evaluates to some other file, and if that file is missing,
then the shortcut is no longer valid.

Thank you very much Paul.

You were right on the button :-) It was there in
the startup.

Have a great weekend :-)
