How to fix a nuisance with notepad.exe shortcuts
On every system we have, when it is first set up, I always put a shortcut to CMD, and Notepad.exe and a few others on the desktop.
The shortcut i create to notepad.exe made when using create new shortcut option works fine. BUT any files created with it ALWAYS default to being saved to the windows\system32 folder where notepad.exe resides.
I would Prefer that these files always be saved to the User's desktop. Most of the time, it is used to make short notes to the user by me. Copying the notepad.exe file TO the desktop instead of a shortcut to it will not work at al.
The solution is not hard but is a nuisance to remember to do every time. If i change the "Start In" location for the shortcut to c:\users\(current user's name)\desktop. Problem solved. All files default to saving on their desktop.
Is there any way to create the shortcut on there desktop so that it works in this manner to start with?
