Hey TS, got a question for ya all. I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, so it should be possible, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to do it.
I have a program called CodySafe installed on my iPod (its a similar concept to the U3 launcher). I double click the .exe on my iPod (which, btw, I use as a portable disk to transfer the java programs I write for my AP Computer Science class in school). Then, it launches CodySafe.
You can set it to auto-launch programs anywhere inside your portable disk. I guess it uses a config file somewhere.
A program it auto launches is called MaZZick. You hold shift, and make a mouse gesture, and it runs a task or opens a program. I have a few custom gestures, for example, one to open FireFox (portable edition
) and JCreator (my JAVA compiler). But, the drive letter can change (prime example - the cd drive isnt showing up in windows epxlorer anymore on this school computer. my iPod's drive letter always used to be E:\ here, but now, with the lack of a disk drive, is D:\.)
What I need is a way so that, when I set the path in MaZZick of where the program is, I can use some sort of variable so that even if the drive letter changes, the program will know to look in the root of the drive that it is being run from.
I think what I'm looking for is something along the lines of %APPDATA% and %WINDIR%. But, I can't figure out which one I would need (neither of those ones, at least, i think). I also tried removing the drive letter from the path of the program, so instead of "E:\CodySafe\Programs..." it was just "\CodySafe\Programs...". Didn't work.
Thanks in advance for the help guys!!
