Creating Shotcuts on Removable media.

[Kardon Coupé]

Dear All,

Is there anyway to set up a shortcut so that if the external HDD or USB
Flash Drive is put in another machine, and that machine give the drive a
different letter the shortcuts will still work?

I've attempted to try "..\folder\program.exe" but it won't accept that, on
my machine it is a "O:\" drive, on another a "E:\"

Can anybody help me with this little predicament?

Regards
Paul.

The shortcut is on the computer, not the thumb drive. Each machine
will have to have a different shortcut.

You could make an Autorun.inf file to run your key on insertion like
this:

[AutoRun]
open=program.exe ;
Program to run
action=Launch Program ; Autorun
window text
shell\Folder=Launch Program ; Right-click
context menu text (\Folder is the program's folder)
shell\Folder\command=program.exe ; Right-click context
menu command
icon=program.exe ; Drive
icon
label=Program ;
Drive label
