mass change shortcut target drive

[Don]

Hello, I have around 300+ shortcuts that need to have drive letters
changed from c,d,e,f,g, etc to c,d,e,r,g etc.

When I move drives around the shortcuts don't change so i have been
doing it manually but i am tried of doing it that way.

Is there some way to automate this all the shortcuts are in a shortcuts
folder on my desktop.

A little more detail might assist - such as why you need 300+ shortcuts to
drives that you move around/why you move drives around enough for this to be
a concern/etc...

well i have different operating systems that get installed at different
points that on a few machines the drive letters will never match up. SO
when i have to work on the machine an i need to axcess the shortcut i
manually change them from t:\test access\file1.doc to k:\test
access\file1.doc

some of the machines have drive letters in use all the way up to y: from
card readers, hard drives and drive mappings, so i cannot standardize
the shortcuts.

Assign a share name then use the URL in the shortcut.

VBScript, a Windows freebee, is a simple scripting language with easy access
to change the target string of shortcuts.
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript is a good newsgroup to search for sample
scripts relating to shortcuts and to get help with VBScripts.
