PAM.Shortcut.Creator

Often times applications are placed on a removable drive and then needed in another directory. The problem with this is that shortcuts will break when the drive letter changes. One solution is to have several copies of one application scattered throughout your drive, however your data becomes scattered and you lose precious space on your drive. PAM.S.C. aims to provide a better solution. Leave your applications in one directory and create a small app (21 kB) that can be placed anywhere on that drive that then starts your application. It's not your conventional shortcut, it's shortcut2.0!

This isn't much and it's just the start of something but I am developing a Portable shortcut maker. It isn't your standard shortcut per-say, but this allows your to place your "short cut" anywhere on your portable drive and start any application from another spot on your drive.

I made this as a fix for my portable bbLean. Instead of using the PAM menu I edited the menu system in bbLean to run these shortcuts. That way I could start my apps from inside bbLean and from the PAM menu.

Plans: I am waiting for a response from a gentleman that has a piece of software that converts bat files to exe's. This will make things a bit neater, plus it will run the "shortcut" without the brief black popup. I have a working program that utilizes his software but until I get his permission... sorry
Also, I may rewrite this in vB at a later date.

This is PAM ready, simply extract to your PortableApps folder and refresh your PAM icons. Your shortcut will be placed in the rood of the PAMsc folder.
