Feature Request-Set file locations via environment variables

When you plug a USB flash drive into a PC, Windows assigns the identifying drive letter dynamically based on available drive letters; drive E: on one PC might be drive J: on another, or even on the same PC at a different time. This makes it impossible to use fixed drive letters in the default tree and temporary file settings when running from a flash drive. If MaplePro recognized environment variables, I could specify the temporary file location as %USBRoot1%:\temp and the default tree location as %USBRoot2%:\My Documents\MapleData\Basic Stuff.mpl

If you have Maple and .mpl files on the same flash drive you can use relative paths, such as ..\My Documents\MapleData\Basic Stuff.mpl
