Query on the use of %text string%
Using the tutorial below I created a shortcut to my ‘Recent items’ and it stated “Enter text string ‘%AppData%MicrosoftWindowsRecent’ in the ‘Location’ box. After completing the shortcut I find it takes me to the longer address ‘C:UsersKenAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecent’.
It seems that ‘%textstring% is a search instruction to look for what follows after the second % character and then go to that full address.
If this is correct then can someone explain what is happening here and maybe give a couple more useful examples please? Maybe there is a list of useful %textstring% examples?
