I only have one drive, unfortunately.o luck.

C:\emacs, C:\users\brel\documents\emacs,
C:\users\brel\downloads\emacs

I had luck once when unzipping emacs-24.2-bin-i386(1).zip to
C:\users\brel\downloads\emacs-24.2-bin-i386(1)

But I am not able to do it again.

Making a shortcut is OK, but in order to use it, you need to change the 
properties to
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe" -na runemacs.exe -c ""
