    assign optional drive to a shortcut


    Hello,
    I have shortcuts to files on a flash drive; the shortcuts are saved on the flash drive as well.
    When I am trying to open the files through the shortcut on a different computer, I am getting the "Problem with Shortcut" message because the shortcut was created with a certain drive letter , say "O" on a machine, but on an other one, the flash drive letter could be "H".
    I am wondering if is possible to assign multiple options for the drive letter and, or have a routine go through a few options like if "O:\myfile.pdf" fails, go to "H:\myfile.pdf" if fails, go to "L:\myfile.pdf" and so forth...
    Thanks

    :)

    Disable Snipping tool shortcut

    Hello,

    I am currently trying to assign a few shortcuts to a program, but I cannot assign for example Win+Shift+S for example because it is already assigned to the snipping tool.

    I enabled the prevent snipping tool option in the group policy but now I still cannot assign the shortcut to another program, because I just get an error which says it cannot start snipping tool because of a group policy (duh).

    Why is there no obvious way to simply REMOVE the shortcut assignment instead of preventing the program from running in the first place.
