i work with a program called "Instant.EXE 2.0" [from downloads.com] and i want to make an exe file that copies a file from the local directory to some specified directory. BUT my problem is that i don't know how to tell him to copy that file from the "LOCAL DIRECTORY" ? [like all these shortcuts, for example "%SystemRoot%\system32\calc.exe"]
