The target can be anywhere and this is not the important thing. What is important is the place where Visual FoxPro will start (the default path) who is indicated by the start in properties of the shortcut. On a user machine we can map a drive on letter S and on another user machine the same drive on letter H and the only thing we have to change is the shortcut

target : s:\support\support.exe
start in : s:\support

target : h:\support\support.exe
start in : h:\support

When application will start sys(5) and sys(2003) will set the right parth for the application:

gcpathexec = SYS(5)+SYS(2003)+"\"
