Relative Paths

Posted: 09-06-2004, 07:37 AM
Hi

Is it possible to add relative paths to XP?
I have a folder on each computer in our network called "Tools". Over time
this folder has been created in different places on different computers.
Now I am writing a script which needs to use an application in this folder.
Instead of trying to come up with a way to localize the folder everytime the
script runs, I would prefer to do it only once and then add the path as a
relative path in the local system so that I can always refer to that in the
future.

Is this possible?

Regards
Wayne

Can you not simply add the path to the Tools directory in the Environmental
Variables?
