Just asked a collegue and he says subst is persistant across logout/login, but not across reboots. You can write a .bat to do it (or get net use working ;-)
td.
the subst thing works and i will put it in the autoexec.bat, i have made a batch file and it connects, but how can i call it a different name and also maybe share it from within dos, i have found another use for this virtual drive thing at school hehehehe
What do you mean by use a different name? Do you mean other than autoexec.bat? Your powers of confusion are working wonders here.
sorry about that harry, i meant can i rename the drive, currently the drive on my computer is called data, and can you share it in DOS,even though it doesn't excist as a drive ?
just thought that i would add that i am using dos becuase i am on a stupid restricted computer using nt4 at school and it bites aaaggggghhhh
nt4 does not 'bite'
td.
it does when nearly all of the useful programs are restricted
