WinSCP won't start from the systray popup

Links to remote files in the popup PC-with-hat in the systray can fail to work if your install of WinSCP is off-standard.

Old versions of WinSCP were located in directories like C:\Program Files\WinSCP3, which more recent versions work with C:\Program Files\WinSCP. If you have or had an older version and installed a newer one, the old path names may have staid in place.

The Shaman assumes that WinSCP is installed in the new location, C:\Program Files\WinSCP. If it isn't there, proceed as follows:

Uninstall WinSCP
When asked by the uninstaller, indicate NOT to remove information stored on your computer. This will avoid destroying built-up WinSCP preferences and sessions links.
Reinstall WinSCP, for example from media supplied by OpenFortress.
Click on the WinSCP link from the systray icon. It should now work.
When in doubt, make sure that WinSCP is installed in the place where it should be.
