[Fixed] How do I move up one step in a file path?
Just give yourself time and try things out. Begin with basics first. If something that should be working isn't actually working, post it up there for review. Tell me exactly what you built, how it worked, or why it didn't work as expected. Skills like using strings well, doing parsing, etc., are really important to know.
Yeah, thanks. My life would have been much easier if Microsoft let us go back to using only one path instead of always having to use the full path. And also let's make our own "virtual drives" that stick around. For example: EMULATORS just point directly to where I want them to be set up. Let's say Emulators is a drive pointed to F:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\. So when I type Emulators in the CMD, for example, it will take me exactly to F:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3 like it actually was a real drive. Oh man this would solve everything! But Windows won't let me do such an super easy thing. Unless there is some third party software that can fix this and trick windows somehow. Holy crap... did I just randomly answer my own question? Can virtual drives be the answer somehow? Or maybe it needs to be a virtual environment of sorts?
For this project, I'm just going to use a simple program called Link Fixer that can fix all paths inside every shortcut in a folder at the same time. I'm not sure about the icons I chose to add, but anyway, a good and quick solution that works for now. And to make things easy, I'll have it on C drive. EDIT: Holy crap, this also fixes the icons. Then this issue is truly solved. EDIT 2: OK i just found out that shortcuts auto-update themselves when you doubleclick them after you've either changed the name of the target directory or moved it to another location. I had no idea this was implemented in windows. Thanks for your help on this Ralston18
