I'm not sure what they're called (I'm thinking delimiter, but that doesn't seem right), but I'm trying to find out how to access the root folder in files like "desktop.ini" a particular way. For example, "%1" gets the full path info (or something). I simply want to point it to the root folder of the current drive (which is subject to change since the drive is portable).

I hope that's not too confusing.

o.0? it was

I hate being dumb.

If the file is in the root folder then try .\

If the file is in one fodler above the root folder then try ..\

Neither of those worked. I had already tried the second one.


OK, basically what I'm doing is setting a background pic for a few folders on my portable HD. But if I plug in to another pc, the drive letter will most likely be different, and will not load the picture (which is also on the portable HD). So I need a way to reference this drive without referencing the drive letter.

did you try ./

notice that is a forward slash instead of backslash

OK. I got ../ to work, but that goes up one level. If I decide to move the folder, I'll have to change it.

[edit: I guess ..\ also works the same as ../ but I wasn't trying it on the same folder this time.]

Use "Cd \"
er... maybe?
