Very simple way to handle this: G:\myfavapp\app.exe = \myfavapp\app.exe. Problem solved :)

It doesn't work!
I thought it would work with Windows Explorer... but no luck, in my comp atleast
But when command line is used for programs, it definitely does not work!
Ehtyar:
You're right, it doesn't work in explorer. I don't use explorer to launch my portable apps so i never noticed.
I don't use powerpro either, so i cannot speak to your specific problem, but most programs will accept a path without the drive spec and will act as though it is relative the the root of the current drive.
Hope it helps out in the long run, Ehtyar.
anjan_oleti:
Oh! Okay, now I understand what exactly you meant.. sure, it helps! Thanks!

great solution, however if you have multiple USB devices in use you don't get any indication of which is which when you try to remove a device, ie I use both a key and and MP3 player. Using the NTFS junction method makes these devices appear identical when I want to remove a device (unless I go the long way round and right click)...
anyone got any suggestions???

Ehtyar:
I wrote myself a tray app a while back that when right clicked displays a list a of all drives on the system with their drive spec and name. It was originally so i could open drives fast on systems where i had to use the start menu. I'm afraid that's the only way I've ever managed what you're talking about.
