moved linked files

I have been moving things around on my computer (to tidy up a bit !) but have now lost the links to the pictures and other images in my tree.Is there a way I can get FH to find the new links.I am sure I saw how to to it somewhere.

How do I stop my PC from timing out?
I sit in front of it while it is downloading (very boring!)and it gets about three-quarters of the way through and then says download complete(which it obviously is not).Do I have to do something technical and scary to rectify all this!!![confused]
