How can I subst a drvive command in XP
Doesn't work in the autoexec.nt file in the XP envirnoment

Some place I read to put in in the 'startup group..

In win98 I have no problem... been search this XP and
can figure?

ie I need a Subst F: C:\

Is it even possible... How do the create a F: drive in a next work where
as a program works on the same drive letter for all work stations?


Thank you for the help...

Rod

Hi Rod,

Start/Run/CMD: subst c:f:\
Hit enter, then type exit, then hit enter.

Thanks BUT it does not work in the autoexec.bat like older OS.. We need
to find a more bootable..

SOme said Srtup file calles a BAT file will load the 32 bit process.. the
autoexec.nt only loads 16 bit operation... I am still learning

Stick it in a shortcut and stick the shortcut in the startup folder on Start - All Programs.

Totally missed the bat reference. Good luck with your learning. )

In win98 I would run the SUBST f: c:\ and my application runs on the
f: drive and across the network.. Other workstations mapped to the f: drive
and run the same exe file or application needed to be on same drive..


With XP subst in the autoexec.nt doesn't work..
How would one auto execute a BAT file... at boot time

In the STARTUP directory!!

but I can't find the add/edit instruction to do.... I can do so in
win98...


Thanks again

Just put your batch file or a shortcut to it in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
