Solved How to make a shortcut from a usb drive to a windows livePE

[d00p98uy]

I've decided to make a LivePE, but cant figure out how to run some portable apps thru a shortcut on the livePE desktop, if i could do that, i could just run the apps from the desktop, besides having to actually go into the usb and select the program, since the drive letter always changes, i cannot make a shortcut inside the PE, is there any way to do this?

Use \ which means root of the current drive, which in your case would be the flash drive you are booted from.

If you had a program in Tools\Subfolder\anytool.exe, then address it as \Tools\Subfolder\anytool.exe.

yes, but once in the livePE, you're not actually on the same drive as you're flash drive, you're on a drive mounted to you're memory, i'm looking for a way to make a shortcut to the usb on the livePE desktop that will work on any computer... but, unfortunately with no luck

even you're usb drive letter changes, the only way i can think of is to apply a permenent letter to the drive, but then i would have to do that extra bit of work for every usb i use.

any ideas?

From livePE, enter the command set to see all Environment variables and their values. Perhaps one of them will give you what you need?

 

[d00p98uy]

nope, no luck on that either, i just made a new livepe because that one was having many problems with permissions, but still, no luck, really not that imporntant, all well, what can you do...

What does set return or doesn't it work?

Using a another Tool, although, i'm not sure i'm aloud to talk about it here

 

[Ztruker]

Sure, as long as it's not illegal. It could help someone later on.

 

[d00p98uy]

no it's not, but the place that releases it also releases those "other tools" lol

Allowed.

here's WinBuilder+ the preset for that live. The only thing is that it will only add the desktop icon for installing windows
