   Not at the beginning of the file, only at the optional string section   
   RELATIVE_PATH towards the end of the file. The normal path strings at   
   the beginning of the file are always absolute. I tried changing an   
   absolute to a relative path by hand and it failed with file not found.   
      
   But what again is your exact problem, if it works on changed drive letters   
   and when moved to a different drive even deep down in a directory?   
   I haven't tested it, but I'm 99% sure that it works also on a different   
   windows installation, if that works.   
      
   (my test target was 2 folders down btw, yours was in the same folder,   
   maybe that makes a difference, if the find target (?) button is shown)   
      
   ciao..
