Answer» I would LIKE some help with shortcuts used in USB drives (ie portable).
I am trying to create a shortcut that points to a file like drive:\folder\file.exe - where the "drive" is the drive letter of the USB Drive letter assigned by Windows when it is plugged in. That is, point to a file on the USB Drive itself. This works fine until I PLUG the USB Drive into another computer where the drive letter of the USB Drive is assigned a different letter to the original.
I don't know if this is possible using Windows Shortcuts but there is a way to do this with a batch file.I should have thought of it. Thanks a lot.In case you want the code, here:
start "" "%cd:~0,1%:\Path\To\File.exe"Not sure if you're interested, but you COULD use Disk Management to manually set a default letter for your drive. So, if you WANTED to use the letter X, you could set your drive to that. Then whenever you plug your drive into another computer, it should AUTOMATICALLY open up as drive X.
