Hello,

Is there anyway to create shortcuts with relative paths in winXP? I need to
create a shortcut file that will be burned into a CD. The problem is that it
is not possible to predict which drive letter will the CD have when mounted.
For example, if my shortcut "target" is D:\folder\file.htm if the CD is
mounted as E: the the file will not be found! Any ideas?

Thanks,

GS
 
When writing the path statement to tell Windows to search a location on step
'up' from where you are you add ..\, to the Path statement; to search two
levels you add ..\,..\ etc.

I would guess this would work in your situation because a drive letter is
not required.
