Hoi,
well i'm working on a torrent i want to upload to demonoid of some portable applications (all legit freeware so no :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:in' :mad:)
Anyway,
on my pen-drive, I've got like 4 folders, in those folders there are 4 exe's and the program files require for that exe etc.
When i got to create a shortcut to A exe in any folder, it creates the shortcut
E:/cube/lol.exe
Works perfectly but, i've just plugged in my mp3 player and that's now E:/
so when i click on the shortcut it looks for the folder and file
/cube/lol.exe on my mp3 player :')

Is there anyway i can create like a urm, what's the word..
basically a short cut which doesn't include the drive letter in the shortcut
for examplèèèè
instead of

e:/cube/lol.exe
having this

/cube/lol.exe

is anything like this possible?

Love you

Windows automatically assigns the next available drive letter to any removable media attached to a PC. You need to manually assign a drive letter to removable drives using disk management in the computer management interface. Once this is done windows will recognise the device and always assign the drive letter you assigned in the disk management interface to that device. I speak for XP vista is alien to me.

However, if by accident a file with the same name and path exist, then your shortcut will point to another file. To fix it you have to screw the full path. Open the shortcut in hex editor, find "E:/cube/lol.exe" and replace it with i.e. "rotfl:/".

Rotfl:/ would be nice!
Cheers ladies, but I kinda found away around all that you suggested.
I downloaded an application called Pstart (http://www.pegtop.net/start/)
And basically it just acts as a menu where you can click to open the app you want (or some shi t like that, think i smoked too much last night i can't think straight :'D)

Cheers anyway!
