I have a particular program that I use daily that insists on searching for pdf files in a particular location (SystemDocs)on my hard drive and it is not configuarable. As a test though I found that I can create sub-folders in that location (SystemDocs\ExtraPDFDocs) and place my PDF files in it and the program finds them fine.
However, do to other restriction at my locations, all my PDF files must be stored in a different folder elsewhere on my system so I cannot use the SystemDocs\ExtraPDFDocs location as my actual PDF storage location. The PDf’s are actually stored in C:\My Office Documents\PDF Files.
Is there a way to create the ExtraPDFDocs sub-folder mentioned above that will trick the system into looking at the actual location (C:\My Office Documents\PDF Files) where the pdf files are located. In other words, is there a way to trick the program so that when it looks at the ExtraPDFDocs sub-folder it actually looks in C:\My Office Documents\PDF Files without actually changing the parent folder of ExtraPDFDocs?
Placing a shortcut in the SystemDocs\ExtraPDFDocs folder pointing to C:\My Office Documents\PDF Files doesn’t work.
