A no can do for shortcuts as paths are made absolute. Another problem could 
be changing drive letters due to removable drives, by the way. If you've got 
control over the target machines you could use mounted folders for USB stuff 
in stead of drives. This is well hidden, and found in:
control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management, 
[context menu] change drive letter and paths, [button] add, [checkbox] mount 
in the following empty NTFS folder

Ouch this sounds bad. Have you ttried pressing the restore button in the 
Folder Options tab to see if it helps? You asked if it would be possible to 
check what settings Windows is using for the disappeared items like install, 
the answer is that those items are generated dynamically, presumably by 
shell extensions, and do not show up in Folder Options. I ran into similar 
trouble in trying to add new actions to folders. In my case, this Microsoft 
article helped:
