Re: Copying shortcuts to another partition

Try this:
1. Copy a file and its shortcut from your first partition to your second
partition.
2. Create a temporary folder on your first partition and move (not copy) the
file and shortcut on that partition into the temporary folder.
3. Double-click on the shortcut on your second partition.
