File Pathing

Let me start off by saying that this dock is an incredible app.

I have it at home... and just installed it at work, against the rules. But I had to haveit

I do have one question. Lets say that a path to a file is

c:\folder\nested\application.exe

is there a way to have it be

%systemroot%\folder\nested\application.exe

..\folder\nested\application.exe

or even if I write a VB app that is put intot he OD folder...

how can I just have

appRunner.vbs

for the path.

I have not a clue as to what you want - I got no tech smarts/skills....

I run a vbs for the XP start menu from ODock free - I have a vbs in 'my documents' and a dock short cut that points to it.

Javascript works also, but both are repetitive in your example. The dock item is a shortcut and if your just pointing to a .exe with your script your basically running a shortcut with a shortcut.
%Systemroot% works, however the subdirectory (../) will probably have point to an Object Dock subdirectory.

Not really sure what your looking to do but I hope this helps.

Well it is going from Drive Z: to start a program on a drive whose letter will change.

%systemroot%, did not work. Tried it.

Sorry......I didn't know what your trying to do. %systemroot% works in the "arguments" & "start in"

I haven't tried it, but have you tried %systemdrive% ?
