..\ myfile \ myexe.exe

thank you for answer, I translates then I read. 
with “desktopXbuilder”, if I create short cuts, the addresses are complete.
if I send the widget towards another hard disk (exmple: c:/ ---> G://)the links are not good any more.it is possible not to use the complete address.
merci.

I understand what you are trying to do.
Depending on what you know about the system you can also use the XP system variables.
I created a link to a text file using this path: %PROGRAMFILES%\Stardock\SDCentral\Download\test.txt
%PROGRAMFILES% is a system variable that is usually c:\ but if the other PC has it set as G:\ the link would go there.
You can find more variables here: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm
I am sure you could also do what you want through scripting, but I am terrible at script writing.

What kind of EXE? You could embed the exe in the widget: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/Tutorials/CustomFonts.html
The steps are the same for an exe as a font.
