+ShortPATH
+=========
+
+Create environment-wide shortcuts to run commands directly within the context of a chosen directory. Uses the PATH environment variable to add pipe commands that act as shortcuts to a directory of choice.
+
+The executable is portable and requires no administrative privileges. Shortcuts however are stored within AppData to make them persistent.
