    I have A program on Win2000 Pro and I have a folder tree structure that I like on NTFS drive. I also have programs that would rememeber that dir at pro startup on NT4/Win98. On Win2000 it just opens to My Computer. Now I in the Disk Management Consel in the MMC in have give a different partition and folder path instead of a Drive letter. Is there way assign a Drive Letter to a Path on Win2000 Pro? I have tried sharing the folder and connecting to the share but the doesn't always stay connected, but it does put the Drive in My Computer. Real World Coding:      POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};

          Subst creates a drive letter based on a directory. You can go to the command prompt and enter subst /? for information about the command. Brigg Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

            And TRUENAME was (it is not anymore on XP Pro) an undocumented internal DOS command that used INT 21h function 60h (remember INt 21h?) to get the true path to a file or folder (getting around ASSIGN (I never knew what it does) or SUBST, or simplifying paths like c:\.\foo\..\foo\bar\..\.\bar\). I liked that command simply because it was undocumented!! I don't know why, but I've always liked undocumented things :) Cheers, -- LuisR --------   Luis Alonso Ramos   Chihuahua, Mexico   www.luisalonsoramos.com

                Just one more quest... Can I set a label somewhere Like I can for real drives. I single-wait-single clicking the new drive and I renamed it but I get a message box saying I can't do that. I also try changing it in the Folder Properies box but same message box. I have more than one path that I now want to assign and I need a quick way to tell them apart... Thank you... Real World Coding:      POP& BuyAPop(Money ADollar){...};
