Relative paths in the favourites and portable usage

A useful example for portable usage is to manually edit all your favourites after adding them and delete the drive at the beginning of the path. If the path starts with a simple back-slash (\) and the application is used portably from a USB drive, the favourite file will be looked for on the very same drive. This can be used to twist the USB drive around, while moving TED Notepad on the USB drive from one computer to another.

Note: One of the requirements for this to work, is to use correct working directory upon launching TED Notepad from the USB drive. In most typical cases, the system uses the USB drive as the working directory (as expected). However, some file managers and portable launchers may need to be told what working directory to use explicitly. Set them to use the USB drive.
