usb drive

EndUnknown · 04-21-2008, 05:04 AM

I have portable firefox on a flash drive, and I have a shortcut to it in the root of the drive. I use it on multiple computers and they have different drive letters for the usb's

is there a way to do a root:\FirefoxPortableTest\FirefoxPortable.exe type thing so that it automatically associates it w/ the drive letter it happens to be using?

All you have to do is open FFportable.exe on the flash drive, it doesn't matter what drive letter the computer assigns it.

I know, but my shortcut at the root(ex: E:\) doesn't work. I'm wanting to save myself a click or 2 if I can.

Can you just remove the E: and change it to:

/whatever/whatever

Try that.

not valid

What about putting the exe in the main directory?

Um.. what about always mount the usb drive as a NTFS folder inside your %system% or %root%

You have a shortcut to it in the root of the flash drive? Why not just move the exe there? Or put a new shortcut to it on every computer you use instead of on the drive.
