I clicked on my ZOOM Shortcut I've used for several years, and got an ERROR MESSAGE saying it had changed or been moved, but with NO DETAILS {Grrrrrrr}.
Searched in Windows Program Files and Program Files (x86) but nada, zip.
For some reason my Logitech webcam would no longer yield video, and made sure I had the latest update of ZOOM (as of today - 22 March 2023), installed it, but the Zoom Shortcut still shows an ERROR.
Yes, I Re-booted the Confuzzzzer (Windows 7 Professional w/28GB RAM, etc.), and also tried a full power down but things are still whacked ;-(
What to do?
Thanks for any assistance.

P.S. FYI, to ascertain if my webcam is actually functional, I just fired up Cisco Webex I have not used for years and the Logitech C920 has crystal clear video in that software program. What has happened to ZOOM ??? Hmmm.

UPDATE: What a hassle. It turns out the problem with the shortcut was that "bin_00" got added into a new shortcut location URL.
NOTE: The End-User should be NOTIFIED at time of downloading an update that a change like this is going to happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gheeeeez - what an UN-necessary waste of my time here ;-(
New location: (*MYNAME* substituted for my real name, of course) fpo
"C:\Users\*MYNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin_00\Zoom.exe"
Regarding the video problem, very BIZZARE that it started working again after opening and closing ZOOM multiple times. This has always been somewhat of a "Squirrely" issue in ZOOM, but NOT to the degree experienced today.
