Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I ran across something I haven't seen b4 today. A user's autoexec.bat file had the following statement:
subst L: C:\
This statement in the autoexec.bat causes the C: drive to show up again as an identical drive w/ drive letter L: (in MY COMPUTER - Windows 98).
What function does this serve? Is it actually "mirroring" the drive? If so, where is the image?
Is this a security measure of some sort?
Does Windows "see" the L drive as another drive w/ a Windows installation (I've seen this cause problems) or does it ignore it?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
(Thanx to those of you who responded to the [After Idle Period - lose OS] thread as well. Still waiting on word from the user re: status of
problem after disabling all power management features.)
