How make portable shortcut?

Hi!
I want to create into my UsbDrive some shortcut icons for all portable applications.
But the shortcuts created with Windows aren´t portable and in other places don´t work.
Can anyone help me please?

search

I don't remember where and is too early in the morning so I'm lazy... use the black sign "search" in the top right of this windows and look for it...

This as been posted before... many times...

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Biggrin

SmithTech's DriveVar

The missing link is SmithTech's DriveVar software. Follow the instructions below:
1/ Read this entire post,
2/ Click on the link below,
3/ Read the page that comes up,
4/ Download the software to your USB key,
5/ Set the software to start each time you plug your USB key in (autorun.ini or via ASuite, PStart, etc.) drivevar.exe -a,
6/ Create your shortcuts using Windows as usual,
7/ Edit your short cuts
7a/ delete the drive letter (B:\, D:\, F:\, etc.)
7b/ replace the drive letter with %PA_DRV%

For example: %PA_DRV%\FotoGraphics\GIMP\GIMPPortable.exe instead of B:\FotoGraphics\GIMP\GIMPPortable.exe
or %PA_DRV%\Productivity\OpenOffice\OpenOfficePortable.exe instead of B:\Productivity\OpenOffice\OpenOfficePortable.exe

8/ Send me donation. Smile

A simple batch file... @echo

A simple batch file...

@echo off
start Programs\YourProg\Prog.exe

also you can use relative paths, depending where do you'll put your batch file... for example "start ..\..\..\Prog.exe"

if you need working directory

@echo off
start /D Programs\YourProg Prog.exe

that's all Smile
