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

[Len Brown]

Thanks Steve, I saw your post just as I was about to mention I'd seen the
expression  %CDROM% before in DOS batch files. But that detected the first
CD drive in sequence.  Maybe though I can find an expression for the first
unassigned drive letter in sequence DOS expression and see how that works.

I'll experiment some and ask my good buddy Google for help too (but only if
I have to).  :)
