[Opensim-users] Shortcut Creation Drive-Letter Auto- Assignment?

[Steven Westcot]

Len,

Tthe easiest way on Windows might be a batch file that has the following
line in it:

%CD%\opensim\OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe

%CD% is an environment variable for Windows that puts the current directory
path where the variable is located.  It's often used in batch files and on
the command prompt but whether it would work for a shortcut I'm not sure.
