one shortcut to multiple locations
I know I asked this before ...
Is there any way to make one shortcut point to multiple locations? -- dale - http://www.dalekelly.org/ Not a professional opinion unless specified.

I don't use PS so I'm not certain. The one catch with both would be restrictions. You can right-click to elevate but I don't think there's any way to elevate in a drag-drop. One of the unworkable flaws of running with file restrictions.

It's not a shortcut to multiples locations at all! You can indeed do this in PowerShell, VBS or plain old batch files. I like PowerShell but I'm only beginning so I do not know how to do everything you need (but everything you need is probably just a quick google search away). I would do this using a batch file, if I was in a hurry - if you drop a file onto a shortcut to a batch I think the file path gets passed as parameter 1 (%1) so you can do whatever you need with it. Only I'm not going to code it for you, lol, sorry ;-) Best Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / ! (o o) Member  avid-Suzuki-Fdn/EFF/Red+Cross/SPCA/Planetary-SocietyoO-( )-Oo Very funny Scotty!
