I always point my Shortcuts to their Icons which I keep in a different folder because Temporary Internet Files gets emptied.
I want to put all my Shortcuts on my USB Drive and also my Icons folder too so that my shortcuts always show up as their Individual Icon instead of that annoying blue IE logo.
The problem is, if I point a Shortcut to an Icon on a removable drive, the path might be wrong when I plug it into a different PC.
How can I point my shortcuts to the Icon folder on the same drive and get it to work even if the Drive letter changes.
I have 2 Folders on the USB Drive; “SHORTCUTS”
“ICONS”
I tried pointing the shortcut to:
%SystemRoot%\ICONS\Favicon25.ico
But It Wont let me do it and says:
“Cannot find %SystemRoot%\ICONS\Favicon25.ico
and if I point a shortcut to the current USB drive letter:
G:\Icons\Favicon25.ico
The next PC I plug it into might assign my USB key with a different letter like E: or H:
Does anyone know how to get around this preferably without embedding the shortcut and Icon into an “EXE”. Any help would be appreciated……..a lot
