Drive letter 'hard-wired' into path names

[Guest Herbert Eppel]

I'm not sure whether the answer to my question is contained in the

recent "Drive Mapping" thread...

 

On my laptop I recently moved my user data (My Documents) to drive D:,

while on my PC my user data still reside on C:

 

The move itself went OK, but one issue I hadn't thought about is that

currently the drive letter is 'hard wired' into the path names for files

used by some of my main applications, which means that every time I

synchronise my laptop and my PC (which I to regularly) I have to fiddle

around with the path names if I want to open a recent project on the

other computer =-O

 

Is there a simple (?) solution for this, i.e. might it be possible to

use a 'link' to 'My Documents' in the path declarations within my main

applications, instead of C:\Herb and D:\Herb respectively or some other

method?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I think I found a solution here:
