ShortExe Description

Windows insists that a shortcut target must have a fixed drive letter, which means you cannot use Windows shortcuts on a USB flash drive where the drive letter may change. Here comes ShortExe.
The idea is to have a little program that you rename to something which will be interpreted (by the program itself) as shortcut information. The drive letter need not be specified.
Example (assuming drive H:, shortcut for Qsel.exe):
Original program name: "ShortExe.exe"
Rename it to: "Qsel +some+where.exe"
Will launch: "H:\some\where\Qsel.exe"
The program name (without the ".exe" extension!) is placed at the beginning to make the shortcut easy to identify. Space separates from the directory information.
Since the backslash character is not allowed in a file name, you have to use the plus (+) sign instead. ShortExe also treats single quote marks around the path as double quote marks (in case your path includes spaces). Command arguments are supported as well.
Give ShortExe a try to see how useful it can be for you!
