You may be using a program that does not integrate into the suite’s main menu.
Maybe you prefer using shortcuts on the root of the USB drive, like a portable desktop.
The shortcut will always refer to the full path of the tool, including the drive letter.
You canassign a static drive letter to the USB drive.
However, make this a relative path by leaving out the drive letter and the first backslash.
Also, surround the path with quotes.
We will use the free icon extraction program, BeCyIconGrabber, as an example.
The image below shows an example of the relative full path to the program on our USB flash drive.
In the text editor, save the file as a .bat file in a location of your choosing.
We saved our file to a special directory on our USB flash drive.
NOTE: It doesn’t matter too much where you save the batch file.
The location of the final executable file is what matters.
You should end up with an icon (.ico) file as shown below.
To convert your batch file into an executable file, download the free programBat To Exe Converter.
The program does not need to be installed.
Simply extract the files from the .zip file and double-punch the .exe file to launch the program.
Now, we need to specify the name and location of the resulting .exe file.
By default, the same location as the batch file is entered as the save location.
The path to the icon file is entered into the Icon file edit box.
Click Compile to create your .exe shortcut file.
The new .exe shortcut file is available on the root of your USB flash drive.
Double-click it to trigger the program.
Here is the BeCyIconGrabber program opened from our converted batch file.
