Normally that would happen if the directory where those programs/games where installed was out of reach of the operating system when it boots up. Can it be that you have copied(moved them from one directory to another?

Well, there are two ways to solve it (note that my Windows is not in English, so i'm guessing the name of the menu elements, they might be named differently in your computer):

- undo the move/copy, but i presume you had your reasons to copy/move the files
- the other solution will take some time: you need to edit each and every blank shortcut on your desktop, one by one, and change the destination. When you right click on a desktop icon and select "Properties", you will get a small window with several tabs. Select the tab named "Shortcut". The topmost field is called something like "Destination": you need to change that to reflect the new directory where the game is now.

I hope this helps, if you are not certain of what you need to do come back to me and i'll explain in detail
