Ok so here's the deal:
On my netbook I recently moved steam to an 8GB SD card I have to save space on the main harddrive. Since then, I have put a number of other games on there. Now, my question is whether or not it is possible to make shortcuts on the root of the drive to the executables also located on the SD card. The problem is with Window's drive letter (C:\,F:\ etc.) system every time I make a shortcut when windows maps my SD card to another drive letter in the future none of the shortcuts work. One solution I have come up with is to try and use .bat files instead of actual shortcuts. So,
1. Is there any possible way in windows to make shortcuts in windows that will point to the same file, on the same drive, regardless of what windows has named it?
2. Is there a way to make a batch file that will close/not open a CMD window before booting the program? (With the low end specs of the netbook I've noticed when ANY other windows are opened it lowers performance lol)
BTW, I have read that changing the Drive letter for the SD permanently in disc management would work but I want to use this card on other computers so if possible I'd like to find another solution.
Any help with this would nbe greatly appreciated
