Not exactly sure how I did it, but I think I made the shortcut with arguments in the normal way, then edited RKL’s itemlist.conf file to remove the drive letter from each entry. For example, on of my [RKDockItem] sections looks like this:

[RKDockItem]
type = shortcut
name = Internet Apps
icon = icons/internet.png
link = \Programs\RKLauncher\docklets\kkmenu\KkMenu.exe
arguments = KkInternet.ini KkSkinMenuShadow.ini 0
show = normal
sameInstance = 1

The “link” section here actually uses a form of absolute path; the beginning backslash says “begin at the current drive’s root”. So if the drive letter were G:\, the program activated would be G:\Programs\RKLauncher\docklets\kkmenu\KkMenu.exe.

I can’t remember how I got the kkmenu relative paths working, but I have the feeling it involved editing kkmenu’s configuration files after setting up the menu with kkmenueditor.exe
