Default Batch file in the startup folder.

It might help if you post the contents of the batch file here so we can
have a look at the syntax.


echo on
subst H: F:\
subst J: F:\data
subst K: "F:\DATA\Acquire Home Services"
subst L: F:\DATA\Paradox
subst M: "F:\DATA\WP9 App data"
subst N: "C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Corel\PerfectExpert\9\Custom WP
Templates"
EXIT

What are you trying to do?

Create a set of dirve letters which are common to all my PCs. This enables
the use of the same s/w configuration. The PCs are in a workgroup. One
shares its data and acts like a server. The others map drives to that shared
data. The "server" run WIN98SE and can't map a drive to itself (win98
limitation) so I use subst.

Why? It's the only way I know.

It's usually best not to use the SUBST command on Windows, try the NET (net
use) command instead.


Any suggested command formats?
