Default Re: 2 shortcut questions

QUESTION 1

Thanks for that great answer! I may need to eliminate duplicate shortcuts on
the Start Menu and Favorites menu. I also have several custom folders with
special icons and accompanying desktop.ini files. Each of the icons and the
desktop.ini files takes a minimum of 4kb, so I may want to rethink having so
many colored and custom folders.

QUESTION 2

%HOMEDRIVE% and %SYSTEMDRIVE% both point to the C drive. That would not work
on the D drive and other drives, which is what I'm looking for.

%HOMEPATH% would not work. It points to C:\Documents and
Settings\[UserProfile]
