Answer» I have a hard time doing relative links in WINDOWS. And it is not due to overexposure to Linux. It is just hard to remember.
Say you have some shortcuts on your desktop and the referee to files found in different places. If you are still using XP. like me, the system drive mightn't be C: because if you have two installs of XP on the same drive, they both can not be C:. The other is D: or E: for even F: and if you copy all the shortcuts from one system onto the desktop of ANOTHER system, they WOULD not work. Unless your do it right.
I just found a question on a Microsoft forum about how to adjust your shortcuts so then become 'transportable' in case you move then to another desktop.
How to create a shortcut with relative path
What is says is basically this:
Quote Make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.
Now right-click on it and get properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).
The full shortcut path should have been set to this:
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start .
So I want to SHARE that with you.
