This program is cool, but it sucks if your drive name changes letters. Any one know if i can fix this somehow?

What trouble do you get when you move the drive letter? Can you use subst.exe?

How to...

When you add a shortcut to the launchbar you need to go in to the icon properties of the shortcut and edit it, remove the drive letter and add a couple of ..
ie E:\someshortcut becomes ..\someshortcut. Also in the button action tab make the working directory ..\ and nothing else. Also right click on the Launchbar choose properties and remove the drive letter from the Data file path i.e. E:Launchmate\lnchmate.lmd becomes ..\Launchmate\lnchmate.lmd
Seems to work for me but I prefer Aqua Dock for my launcher.
Hope this helps.
