>Is this an finite number of exe's and directories or is it variable?

Background info: In the orignal app, the client numbers are hardcoded while building the project and executable. This was stored in DirectoryA.

There is a situation now, where a clinet may have more than one client number. So I generate another executable and store it in DirectoryB.

Both DirectoryA and DirectoryB and even C,D,E... could reside on one computer or many computers.

The Data directory is just one directory, which all of the above should access.

Issue now is to place desktop shortcuts for each executbale, so the user may acces which ever clinet number he/she wshes to work with. All this without using any installers.

Basically, I give the 2 directories e.g. DataDirectory which contains the data files and DirectoryA which contains executableA, DirectoryB which contains executableB so on and so forth.
