Is there a way in Windows 7 to create a shortcut to:

Libraries\Music\some_file.mp3

instead of:

D:\Users\Myself\My Music\some_file.mp3

This way when I move my special libraries, or reinstall using different hd partitioning on a new system, I don't have to bother changing the shortcuts?

Your libraries are stored in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries.

I haven't tried it myself, but you can try to create a shortcut file with such a path. Using a script to create a whole gaggle of shortcuts makes more sense, IMO. Hardcoding the path into a shortcut file is likely to break IMO. . .

I tried it and it didn't work. Are you sure that's the syntax? – Jonathan Jul 26 '11 at 20:40
Yup. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378457(v=VS.85).aspx The real path is something like Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries. . . – surfasb Jul 26 '11 at 20:52
