Shortcut dilemma

This group is a wonderful education and sometime lifesaver. My sincere
thanks to all who contribute.

I am organizing files on the HD in preparation for archiving to disc.
It would be helpful to create shortcuts in certain folders as
"hyper-links" to other, remote folders that will be on the same disc.

When creating these on the HD, the shortcut wizard demands an entry
which reflects the temporary HD path. This path will no longer be
accurate once the data is burned to disc. Is there a way to create a
shortcut with the anticipated path that will reflect the content on
disc rather than as it is on the HD?

Thank you.
 
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut("c:\test.lnk")
oShellLink.TargetPath = "d:\windows"
oShellLink.Save

This allows illegal paths. You get a shortcut pointing to nothing real (d:\windows doesn't exist). In all programs for making shoretcuts they test it before making them. This test is in the programs not the shortcut itself.
 
Technically I'm a Master not a Mister. I've not seen a two letter abbreviation for Master, unless it's also Mr. When I was little the letters (the very few I got) always spelt Master in full.
 
Ok, so Master Candy it is. :o)

I don't answer to Mr. I use no title so as not to perpetuate patriarchal power relationships. As I am not married if people want to call me mister I correct them to my correct title. They usually can't bring themselves to call me master so they drop the title.

Notice how primary teachers are always called Miss.

Whatever. I was offering a follow up note of appreciation, a rare
enough item on Usenet. I always use a respectful term of address in
business and with those whom I do not know, an even rarer trait these
days, especially in good ol' boy Amurica [sic]. Obvioiusly all of this
is lost on you. Next time, should there be one, you have demonstrated
well the appropriate term to use.

A waste of space actually. More useless noise.

You may be correct or better said using the term properly. However, here
married or not is Mr. for male. Miss for all female teachers married or not
(grades K-12). When filling forms: Mrs. or Ms. On a side note, I am
married and have 'never' used Mrs. or Ms. for anything, legal or not.
