SUBST using GUI

[Ajay Vijay]

I have a folder that I frequently access. I want to make it as drive letter.

I made it using:
SUBST M: c:\mydir

I just wanted to know whether GUI part is available for it. I tried Computer Management (Disk Management, Logical Drives etc.).
I am using Win2000, SP2.

Thanx.

I just meant how we can do the same (drive letter change) from Windows itself, without invoking Command Prompt. And how to make that stable even after restarts.

In windows explorer Tools|Map Network Drive

To make the mapping persist check 'Reconnect at logon'

Ohhhh!
I didnt mean that. Assume following scenario is there:

• There is no Intranet associated, no network card installed.
• There is a long path like d:\Jokes\Old Man\Programmer\Movies\Good\Bad\Girl\Red Color\Secret\Coffee\VisitHere
• Now I do want to give a drive name to VisitHere folder (or any other like it)

I can do the same using SUBST command, as mentioned in first post.

Now, I do want the same picture from Windows itself. Moreover, the named folder with drive should be stabe, which is not the case when we use SUBST.

Thanks.

Sorry, I just realised that map network drive does not quite work that way. If you want the SUBST settings to persist after a logoff, logon you could create a batch file that runs when you logon, like an autoexec.bat of old
