Is there a way to use an "autorun.info" file on usb sticks? Like that file you get on cd's which runs when you insert the cd into the computer.
If so then you could use it to write the drive letter the stick got assigned to to a file or make a link etc... Just a thought, might have terminology wrong since have had the good fortune to not have to fight with windows for a while now.

I suggest simplifying your environment rather than jumping through artificially constructed hoops. J has the ability to work with relative folders. Folders relative to where it is started or relative to a constant configuration. You could run J from a USB drive, but it is better to use USB drive only as a transfer/back up media, and copy the files to a desktop. Even if these are different desktops: Mac, Linux, Windows--you should be able to do your stuff without absolute paths, let alone drive letters. That's how addons work. It would have been a nightmare to handle absolute paths or drive letters. Instead of USB drives, the SVN is used for addons and it works nicely between platforms. > From: bill lam <[email protected]> > > On Mon, 16 Nov 2009, Gilles Kirouac wrote: > > > > Symbolic links and volume mounting à la Unix... > From: Henry Rich <[email protected]> > > Oh, I see now.
