noticed 2 TB updates (38 & 45) in "prog & features" on my Win 7 comp. Uninstalled older 38 version. Clicked my TB desktop icon and got message "shortcut target missing" Checked programs in Start menu and not there. Checked "Prog & features" and TB update 45 is also missing (I only uninstalled UD 38). Any way to recover and all my EMs and folders for my 3 email accounts? Is this a profile recover issue? Everything fine on another computer that shows only update 45 in "Prog & Features". Thanks for any help
