I've been on this for more than a day already, cracking my brains out.

I have set up an installation DISK based on the programme, CreateInstallFREE. The files can be extracted properly and used. However, in this programme, Under the option Desktop, i created a desktop based on my DOS batch file.

However, i am unable to get the command that will "track" the user who is ABLE to choose where he or she wants to save the file in. Thus, i am only able to open the desktop shortcut batch file properly on my desktop. However, when i save it on a thumbdrive and open up in another computer, i am unable to do so.

Are there any commands that will track where the user SAVES the file into, so that i can track my desktop shortcut to his folder and be able to execute correctly?

OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
Hey people,

I've solved out the problem already. it actually is the option under CreateInstallFREE > Shortcuts > Target File. Just change it to "INSTALL PATH" and you can get it.

BUT! i have another problem now. Even though my DOS batch file tracks the user's choice of saved directory and can be seen via the properties of the shortcut, now that when i open it, the default directory is


"D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop

The system cannot find the path specified."

and my command is

D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop> |cd Server-MasterCopy\CS\Release|

So, the Administrator\Desktop is unable to track my file as it isn't in that file after extraction. Why is that so? Is there any way i can change my desktop DOS batch file's default location to another location instead of "D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop" ?

Please help, thank you!HELLO SIR,
