Wonderfull thanks, but now I see that there are under SYSTEM t
subdivisions:
SYSTEM\Mounted Device1 and SYSTEM\Mounted Devices. The entries fo
DosDevices\A and DosDevices\B appearing once in each subdivision o
SYSTEM and the same values (along with the other DosDevices...)
So do I have to do the same for DosDevices1 and DosDevices ?
Thank
