[Andrew Dalgleish] I use a very similar layout, except I use a separate drive letter (U) rather than "c:/root" This allows me to access either a "production" tree on a server using "NET USE" (BTW, the MS "distributed file system" works just fine), or a local "test" tree using "SUBST" without having to tinker with the mount table. I would like to be able to run two such systems running simultaneously. If the root was set in the environment or command line, and the mounts are taken from /etc... Hmmm.
