@XSteveMurphy: Love it!

@jamescoleuk: Why don't I like .NET?

I was getting quite interested there, until I read the final sentence: "requires .NET".

I love the name 'expensr'. It's so novel, so original, everyone will soon be copying this format. I fully expect to see 'wankr' shortly.

Hey, get your grubby fingers off my steak! ;-)

I'm not a huge Windows fan but I have to take issue with some of these mis-placed 'issues':

I both admire and despise the Unix shells & tools in equal amounts.

@Duane: if I'm ever tempted to say "What I hear you saying is..." then it actually means "Well you certainly mangled that! Let me re-phrase it in a way that makes sense to human beings."

I don't think the system tray (in Windows at least) was designed to be a repository for every application and its dog. It's being roundly abused. Use the tray when your application really needs to show a transient notification and not otherwise. Keyword: transient

@xxdesmus: Why use subst? For ease of use and conformity across systems.

My preference is to use subst (actually Visual Subst) for the most common 'long' locations.

Granted, the idea is good but, concerns about the use of .NET notwithstanding, this program is alpha and is extremely bugged at present by the look of things. For example:

@h2oford: It might only (only!) be 16 MB initially but, if my experience of .NET is anything to go by, in a week it'll be 50 MB.

Interesting, but hardly 'heuristic'.

Whatever happened to the days when people wrote small, fast utilities?

@zarathustra: Assuming that you want to move *all* subfolders of *all* folders in the current directory then a simple script making use of for /D should do it. For example:

@The How-To Geek: I'm guessing that you could simply copy a number of existing shortcuts into a new programs folder (call it 'Aliases' perhaps) and then customize them. Rename each shortcut as appropriate e.g. to 'crt'. Then change the shortcut properties to add in any static parameters that you needed.

If I had a dollar for every Unix computer I've used that did *not* have man installed, I'd be posting this from my palatial residence in the Bahamas!

When a highway's speed limit is 55 mph and 100% of vehicles are exceeding it then you have, my friends, set your speed limit incorrectly.
