Shortcut help

I am looking to create a shortcut to a file with the path
starting from were the short cut is. Windows seems to
always want to start from c:\directory\....\shortcut.

I do not want it to reference the drive or directory just
start from here and go down the structure.

Anyone know how to do this.?
 
Windows needs to know exactly where a file is located

This means starting from the Drive letter and progressing down the folder until it is the folder in which the item resides

THUS ONE NEEDSS THE FULL PATH. Thus the meaning of shortcut, you don't have to type out the path in full as the shortcut has it stored.
 
I know this is going to be an unpleasant comment but,

I can do it in a unix operating system <Swearword>.

And I can also do it in DOS.

@echo off
.\<Directory>\<FileName>

and it will execute. There must be a way to do it. even
if it is in VB or something.
