When you create a new drive using SUBST.EXE, do you have to re-mount
the drives on startup of the computer? When I restart my computer after
doing this the virtual drive is gone. I know some of you have made apps
using SUBST.EXE so any tips or suggestions, at all, are much appreciated. Very Happy

Yes, you do have to re-mount the drives. The VirtualDrives are only good for that session.

Yes, you have to remount with each boot. Of course, you can do this one
of two ways. Via autoexec.bat, or a program made in VDS that starts up
with Windows. Smile

Chris and I both made programs in VDS for this using the subst.exe
program.

Please note though, that if you are going to make a program for
distribution that on the Win9x systems you use "command" and on the
NT based systems, you use "cmd".

Also note that if you poll subst.exe for current virtuals, they will be in
shortname format.
