Drive letter 'hard-wired' into path names

I'm not sure whether the answer to my question is contained in the
recent "Drive Mapping" thread...

On my laptop I recently moved my user data (My Documents) to drive D:,
while on my PC my user data still reside on C:

The move itself went OK, but one issue I hadn't thought about is that
currently the drive letter is 'hard wired' into the path names for files
used by some of my main applications, which means that every time I
synchronise my laptop and my PC (which I to regularly) I have to fiddle
around with the path names if I want to open a recent project on the
other computer =-O

Is there a simple (?) solution for this, i.e. might it be possible to
use a 'link' to 'My Documents' in the path declarations within my main
applications, instead of C:\Herb and D:\Herb respectively or some other
method?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I think I found a solution here:
