Check to make sure that under the shortcut properties that you have the
"Start in" field filled out with the directory the script is located.

Whether using py2exe or pyInstaller I've noticed a problem and I'm not
sure how to fix it...

When I create a .exe and then make a shortcut to the file and run it.. the
program will crash without warning.
If I run the .exe directly it runs fine.

My assumption of the problem:
Since it is still built on python and my variables for files or module
calls are designed for "they are in the same location I run the script from"
when I run the script from a shortcut it will fail finding the wanted
pieces.

Is this true? And if so, how do I fix it? I could write fixed paths into
my code, but that is unrealistic and makes running my scripts to test them a
pain.

Thanks.
