Often put some green small tools in the USB flash drive for use.
And created shortcuts (*.lnk) of these small tools in the USB flash drive.
Because different computers have different drive letter settings for the USB flash drive, it is quite troublesome to use these shortcuts. You must modify the target of the shortcut again to use it.

Now please ask experts to write a BAT that directly changes the target path of the shortcut.
Requirements:
1. First retrieve the current drive letter where the USB flash drive is located.
2. Modify the target of the shortcuts in the current folder. (This BAT is placed in the same folder as the shortcuts) (Actually, just modify the drive letter ----- change I:\*\ to g:\*)

You can use some USB flash drive "Start Menu" software, such as PSMenu

PSMenu - Portable Start Menu (Portable Start Menu)

Thanked the software tried upstairs.
Not very easy to use. Not very convenient.

Still want to use BAT to solve.
Can you give an idea...

(Just change the target path of a *.lnk)

Change the target path of all shortcuts in a directory... ( Vbscript )
Change The Target Path Of All Shortcuts In A Directory... ( Vbscript )

Why not replace all shortcuts with batch scripts? This way, relative paths can be used.
start "" "tool\test.exe"

I have also encountered this problem.

The temporary method is the same as the one above, and multiple folders and files can be opened simultaneously.

start "" 工具\下载\FlashGet\FlashGet.exe
start "" 工具\网络\Tencent\qq\QQ.exe
start "" 文件\素材\MM相片\
start "" 工具\娱乐\MP3列表.m3u
start "" http://www.google.com/

But this bat cannot search the upper - level directory.
If you have many commonly used tools and it is inconvenient to put them in the root directory,
you will definitely create a folder to put all the shortcuts.
In this way: your shortcuts are in
g:\Common Tool Shortcuts\

If you use bat to replace lnk, then
the directory where your bat file is located is
g:\Common Tool Shortcuts\

And the files you want to point to are in
g:\Tools\QQ\QQ2008.exe
g:\Music\Qianqian Quiet Listening.ttpl
In this case, it cannot be searched.

This is the first problem.
The second problem is: then a bunch of bat files placed there are not very nice to look at.
So it is best to use one bat to get it done.
Looking forward to it...

I just started learning bat the second day, hope to get more guidance.

XP seems to automatically search...

The directory where your bat file is located is
g:\Common Tool Shortcuts\

And the files you want to point to are in
g:\Tools\QQ\QQ2008.exe
g:\Music\Qianqian Quiet Listening.ttpl
In this case, it cannot be found

Like this: start "" \Tools\QQ\QQ2008.exe

. means the current directory
.. means the parent directory
\ means the root directory

New problem again,

My computer
start "" 123.txt
start + half-width space + "" + half-width space + program, file or folder path
Can't search subdirectories now, actually.
I remember it was okay yesterday
What's going on?
The error message is "Cannot find '123.txt' (quotes added by myself in the prompt)
Adding "" to 123.txt doesn't work either
start "" \123.txt doesn't work either
It should be a problem with the computer, heh

Frequent registry modifications today, did I accidentally change something
Which registry entries might cause 123.txt to not be found, please
Thanks!

It will only first look in the current directory, then in the "environment variables", and will not look in other places.

Thank you everyone for your help, the problem has been solved.

The required tools all have links in this post.
Thanks again to the enthusiastic tireless

Use the link from post 11 in this thread. Use the code from post 10 and the attachment from post 1 in the linked post, then make some minor adjustments.

Thank you all again.

But if you just use BAT, there are no icons.

Still not very good.

I think of a stupid way.

Make several shortcut icons with different paths (usually USB disks: I, H, G and other drive letters)

Then, choose one of them, and it will be okay.

Once again, please ask the experts for advice. What can be simplified or optimized in the above method with BAT...

1. Change the target drive letter of all shortcuts to Z:
2. Create a BAT file with the content to map the current drive letter to Z: using subst

Or use HTA to manage and make it similar to a toolbar style.

LinkChanger (http://fcsoft.by.ru/), but it doesn't support command line.
