How to create a shortcut with relative path

• Creating a shortcut with relative paths

  I'm trying to set up a folder so that I can copy a group of files from USB drives, and I want to place a shortcut to open the Powerpoint Viewer into a subfolder of this folder to copy.   When I put in place a regular shortcut, it creates the full path: 'C:\Users\xx\Documents\Thumb Drive Files\With CAD Drawings\Product présentation Files\pptview.exe training', and when they are copied on a USB key, it will not work because it seeks the path 'C:', rather than the relative path in the folder, \With CAD Drawings\Product Training Presentation Files\pptview .exe.  I don't remember how to set this up with relative paths.

  You can't go with shortcut, you use a batch file on the root of the drive that has an order of relative path for the first command in it.

• Urgent: how to create a shortcut with a relative path?

  I put a set of files and folders nested on a server on a network location.  (Use of office machines Vista; I don't know that the server is running.  The files are a text file and two Office 2007 files).  Users will copy this set-up files on their computer (there is a program of VBA macro in a Word document, they need).  They need tomorrow (Friday) and the shortcut path gives me fits!

  The hierarchy looks like:

  MainDir
  File.txt
  SubDir1
  Shortcut to the Word file
  SubDir2
  Word file
  Excel file

  I don't think even the paths associated with the shortcut until I looked a little deeper.  Because I put all the files and folders together on my computer, when I did a drag - move in the folder on the server, the target properties and start in the shortcut always pointed at my computer!  So now, I'm afraid that a user copy this on their machine will have a shortcut that points to ~ my ~ computer, instead of the file on their computer.

  I deleted the shortcut located on the server and creates a new one from the Word file in the directory on the server.  Better - I think - but it still points to the location of the server.  And it is even more likely that, when the user opens the shortcut, it will try to open the file on the server, vice the file on their computer.

  How can I create a shortcut to this Word file that will pick up the relative path from around where to reside?  I can just click > properties and change the target and start in paths?  Or do I need a VBScript or VBA?

  I have to get this done fast!  A kick - in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Ed,

  It is not possible to create a shortcut with a relative path.

  You can try the following allows to bypass and check if it helps:

  Create a shortcut to cmd.exe running the start command to open the current directory. Then set the MDC in the

  The shortcut properties.

  a. make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.

  b. now right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

  c. the shortened full path must have been set to this:

  %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start.

  d. set the directory of "start in" (i.e. DLG) to be a relative path:

  (Example for a shortcut on the desktop)

  ...\SendTo

  e. click on "change icon...". "and set" look for icons in this file: "to: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll and press ENTER.

  Standard folder icon will probably be in the lower right.

  f. now you can copy this file and simply change the "start in:" to make new related shortcuts directory.

  NOTE: The above steps are just an example, so try this at your own risk. And check if it works.

  You can also read the following article and check:

• How to create a shortcut for all users during installation

  Hi people,

  We have a desktop application that is distributed with Java Webstart and works on Win7 machines. Initially, users all connected using a connection by default, so creating shortcuts was not a problem. Now, because of new networking strategies, each user has his own connection.

  The problem is that the shortcut to the application is created in the user profile (for example "C:\Users\JohnDoe\", so that other users in the same machine can not run the application unless he or she installs the application again.)

  Is there a way to create this shortcut for all users using JNLP API or configuration in the xml file?

  If anyone has need of the solution: during installation I save the jnlp file in a directory accessible to all the world and then start the application using "javaws path\to\file.jnlp". More details in How to create a shortcut for java webstart available for all users on Windows 7?-stack overflow

• How to remove a shortcut with the command line?

  How to remove a shortcut with the command line?

  How to make a backup of the local users and groups with command line?

  You delete a shortcut, just as you would remove any other file.  A shortcut will end with the extension ".lnk".  So assuming you are trying to remove the shortcut named "Shortcut.lnk" which appears to the user 'Bob's Office, you use the button Delete (del) or 'clear' command by specifying the full path to the file.  (Remember to put filename in quotes if there is a space anywhere in the path or name) as in:

  del "C:\documents and settings\Bob\Desktop\Shortcut.lnk".

  What kind of a backup 'users and groups' you want to do?  If there is a backup of the users and groups as written in the registry, a good registry as C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT backup program that will make the command line.  If you are trying to backup all users and their data as well, then you are better off with a backup program.

• How to create a shortcut to desktop on Windows 7, like I did in Windows XP?

  In XP Pro, I created a shortcut on the desktop and pinned it to the toolbar. He was terribly helpful because I had several shortcuts on my desktop I've used often throughout each day.

All suggestions, ideas and comments that all care to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

• How to add several tracks with offset path?

  Hello

  I would like to create a script that can create multiple strokes with offset path (incremental or material (user will enter value))

  Is it possible to add several traces? I have found no examples in the script reference or elsewhere.

  Note: Mixtures does not give exactly the same results because sometimes especially when you are dealing with fonts outline paths is to be wrongly mixed a way.

  I'd be happy if someone give at least the main command loop.  I'll try to rest and will share here because I find the solution.

  Thank you

  Best regards.

  

  OK, I'm going to assume your sub windows through the capture in the opening screen post.

  This is a completely different approach.

  This example uses executeMenuCommand so is only compatible with CS6 +.
