You could make the shortcuts beforehand, then use COPY or the $Docs folder.

Or use this command line utility: http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBM/tip6000/rh6035.htm

hi,

i already thought about creating the links before, but i think there will be many problems if WinXP get's installed to another drive.

I downloaded the shortcut.exe and will try it out but it looks way more promising than the other method.

thanks

shortcut.exe has been the most sucessful way that i've found. i actually spent a good chunk of time researching it.

Just be careful with the syntax, there are a few versions out there, that are very picky.

When I get to work, I will post the shortcut link and syntax for you
