File pathname problem

Submitted by rogerdis on May 30, 2008 - 10:16am

This is a basic Windows XP problem, but I don't know the answer, I'm afraid!

Having copied loads of portable apps into a folder on my USB stick, I created shortcuts to each one outside of the folder, and made the folder invisible. No probs - they all work fine...

...until I take my memstick to another computer, where Windows sees it as a drive with a different letter. The shortcuts point to the apps with an absolute reference, rather than a relative one.

How can I overcome this, please?

Hi,
First, sorry if the question have ever been asked several times, but i can't find it ...
So, my problem is that when i open the PortableApps, the menu is not organized like i'd like it to be ... For exemple, I want to have Firefox first, then Pidgin, then VLC, then 7Zip ...
How should i do to change that ?

Thanks for helping me,
yAm
