Thanks a lot for your clear explanation Dwight, I appreciate you took the time to answer me. Do you happen to have multiple computers with Dropbox? Do you syncronize your MLO folder using it?

Hi, Kitus. When you are creating a shortcut in Windows (or if you edit an existing shortcut by right-clicking the shortcut icon and select Properties) you will see a field called start in. This controls the local directory for the process started by the shortcut. The local directory is used when the process tries to access a file by specifying only the filename file.typ without an absolute location in the directory tree C:\users\Dwight\Documents\Test\file.typ If the StartIn field contains the address of a directory such as C:\users\Dwight\Documents\Test then Windows will look in the specified directory for files specified without a directory. Careful if there are any special characters, including blanks - if there are any be sure to enclose the whole thing in quotes. Once you have specified the StartIn field, the started process can access subdirectories of the directory you specified (/subdirectory/file.typ) or the parent (../file.typ) grandparent (../../file.typ) sibling directory (../sibling/file.typ) and many others.
