    Thanks guys, so easy once you know how I can't believe it, I'm going to set up a whole lof of these now. Windows help doesn't help, surprise. This should be a menu feature in Windows. Run>Cmd>subst M: "M:My Files". Sweet.

    Har!

    Shouldn't this be in a category called "MSDOS"?

    Heck, subst may have been around since the days of CP/M.

    Not bashing, though; it's still a handy thing to know.

    True. And in fact, many of the windows recipes are actually command line commands. They are organized under windows because most people don't run MS-DOS alone anymore.

    Ahhh... the old days when I would put F-10 Flight simulator in the A-Drive and boot-up into the game. Or using a boot disk to get my system as lean as possible for a great game of Doom.

    At least we now have the best of both worlds....
