widget and short cut

create short cut

from WinCustomize Forums
hello.
I factories a widget for my children.
I create short cuts:
F:\ \ my file \ myfile \ myexe.exe
it's possible to make a relative way as in Javascript.
..\ myfile \ myexe.exe
if yes, how?
thank you

ps: sorry for my english.

Relative from where? Where the widget lives?
What kind of EXE? You could embed the exe in the widget: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/Tutorials/CustomFonts.html

The steps are the same for an exe as a font.

thank you for answer, I translates then I read.

with “desktopXbuilder”, if I create short cuts, the addresses are complete.



if I send the widget towards another hard disk (exmple: c:/ ---> G://)the links are not good any more.it is possible not to use the complete address.
merci.

I understand what you are trying to do.

Depending on what you know about the system you can also use the XP system variables.

I created a link to a text file using this path: %PROGRAMFILES%\Stardock\SDCentral\Download\test.txt

%PROGRAMFILES% is a system variable that is usually c:\ but if the other PC has it set as G:\ the link would go there.

You can find more variables here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm

I am sure you could also do what you want through scripting, but I am terrible at script writing.
