| 322251 | 2005-02-07 02:21:00 | I want to burn a CD with a shortcut in the CD's root directory pointing to a program in a folder on the cd, however, when I create the shortcut to burn to cd (by right clicking on the program I want the shortcut for), the shortcut still points to the folder on my hard drive which originally contained the program, instead of the copy on the CD. I know that's really confusing, but basically, the shortcut on CD points to C:, when I want it to always point to the CD-Rom drive (no matter what letter that drive may be). How can I create the shortcut to do this? |

| 322252 | 2005-02-07 03:23:00 | I don't believe you can do that with windows. Instead, make some sort of cmd/script executable that that just runs the program. For example in AutoIt 3 scripting it would be this Run(@ScriptDir & "\subdirectory_name\program_name.exe"); with program_name and subdirectory_name substituted as needed. You can then make an executable and just give it the icon of a shortcut autoit (www.hiddensoft.com) You could use vbscript or something too but the adavntage of the autoit executable is that is should work on all windows versions. |

| 322253 | 2005-02-07 03:40:00 | Hi, I dont think you can either as using \FolderName automatically gets changes to C:\FolderName if you happened to create it on the C drive. You should perhaps create an HTML menu with hyperlinks that just have the slahes or run a batch file or script. A simple batch file could be just a one liner ... start explorer.exe "\FolderName" |
