eXoDOS and symlinks problem

I know this isn't related to Launchbox but googling didn't help so i figured i might try asking here. 

Basically, what i did is merge all three eXo projects using symbolic links into my main launchbox installation in order to keep the original folders as untouched as i can. Everything seems to work fine but i found my first problem, namely, i tried running Blood (1997), which has an option to use CD audio but it doesn't work when i run my game from my merged launchbox platform but it does work when i launch it inside the original eXoDOS folder itself. 

Does it mean the batch file eXO is using doesn't actually see the symlinked folder as a true local folder? 

BTW, might be related but on my merged launchbox set up i can't get that pop up when you point the mouse over the box, the one with the option to mute or turn the music on, flip the front box etc.

Ok, seems like i figured it out. It seems i have to re-select CD audio every time i load the game, which is annoying since that resets the cfg file. This goes for both my main launcbox installation and the original eXoDOS one, so it had nothing to do with symlinks whatsoever, just some error in how the batch file is setup in eXoDOS itself. Bleh. 

[EDIT] Well, unlike what the batch file says, re-selecting CD audio doesn't actually erase the cfg file. So this whole thread is even more useless now.
