chief_chaman478 Deleting the folder previously mentioned will not delete your ships, but really just the game's main code and inner workings. Taking that in mind, you pretty much just suggested what I originally proposed 😉
Note that your saved games probably won't load if it's been that long since you've launched the game, so keep that in mind. If you're having trouble relaunching the game after you adjust the shortcuts as Walt mentioned, the most consistent way to find it is by looking under "C" in the start menu applications list
