What what what?
The MS-DOS command SUBST can associate a path with a drive letter; this batch file does that (if that's what you want):
@ECHO OFF
SET drive_letter=Z
SET path_for_drive=\PortableApps\
SUBST %drive_letter% %path_for_drive%
END
What exactly do you mean?

This NSIS program will autoreplace _DRIVELETTER_ with (if on X:\)
Get me?
BTW this will be integrated into START

Still no.

x.txt:
PathToSomething=_DRIVELETTER_\x\y
Run CONVERT
(assuming USB`s drive letter is x)
x.txt:
PathToSomething=X:\x\y

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Still a little iffy.
You want to remap a drive into the USB drive's driveletter?
Why would you need this?
~nm35 {blog} {projects} {standalone apps}
This is assuming that 'X' is the original drive letter(G:, H:, I:, J:) and Convert is just registering the paths to 'proggies z,a,b,c' with the OS, external proggie, etc. on each new machine? Or is CONVERT is re-assigning letters,...creating a consistent path?
What it does is for settings files that need absolute paths it automatically fills in the drive's letter.
Comprehende?
