I have seen this question asked and answered many times but the location one usually desires to create the shortcut is on the actual drive with the different letters.

I would like to create the shortcut on the drive with the permanent letter.

So, let me explain further.

I have a C Drive and a G Drive. The C Drive is always C and it's on a Windows XP computer. The G drive may be G today, but H tomorrow.

How can I create a permanently working shortcut on the C Drive that points to the G, sometimes H, external hard drive?

P.S. I am referring to an external hard drive, but I would also (not instead) be interested in the answer if it were a usb flash drive. (Keep in mind the shortcut is being created on the drive with the permanent letter).

Thanks.

Besides trying to ensure that the drive letter doesn't change (or change it back if it does), one possible (but tedious) workaround could be to create batch files/scripts that search each drive for the file/folder and launch it if found.
