no, I dont think so..............but why would you want to. Put the 
file in a directory thats in your path statement, and anything that 
uses a standard dos call for it should be able to find it...........why 
have 600 copies of the same file when you can have only one. Saves on 
disk space. And you have 600 subdirectories on your hard drive? Thats 
some drive, man!

hope I helped
