Sounds like the old SUBST command is your friend in this instance.
 
Try, from a  command-prompt
SUBST D: C:\RAY
 
or 
SUBST by itself to see the syntax.

Hi list,

 

I'm getting a new computer at work and it will have just a C drive and nothing 
else - no partitions.  Personally, I dislike keeping my files on the OS drive 
for a number of reasons, but I will have no choice.  I'm just starting a new 
job and don't want to risk installing partition magic to partition the drive 
and reserve the contents or anything like that, and the computer is a laptop, 
so I can't easily swap it into another computer to image it or anything.  So, I 
will need to work off the C drive.  Is there a way to map a path, C:\Ray to a 
drive letter, D:\ without going through the loopback network adapter?  It's not 
a big deal if I have to wind up just mapping a drive to a share, but if there's 
some different way that I haven't heard about before, I'd like to try it.

 

This computer will be running Windows XP Pro SP2.  This is not a Windows 2000 
computer, so perhaps y'all should tell me to go fly a kite and get off the W2K 
list with this question!

 

Thanks
