Do you know that…

    With the help of one ancient but cool DOS subst command, you can create virtual disks. Enter the following command in the Run field (Start -> Run): subst Z: C: \. You will have a new Z: drive, which will have the same contents as the C: drive. If you make any changes to the C: drive, they will automatically be reflected on the Z: drive (and vice versa). Virtual disks can also be assigned to folders, for example, if you run the command: subst X: C: \ Windows, then the X: drive will appear, which will have the contents of the Windows folder. To remove the virtual drive, you need to run the command: subst X: / D (removes the virtual disk X :). Help on the command can be viewed by typing: subst /? .. But, after rebooting, all virtual disks disappear, so if you want them to be present in the system all the time, write subst commands in the autoexec.bat file, or better yet, in the registry (in the RUN section). This is done like this: go to the registry (Start -> Run -> regedit) and open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run branch, then the Edit menu -> Create -> New String parameter (String Value ) and enter any name, for example, NewDisk. Double-click on the new parameter and enter the desired command, say subst L: C: \. Now you will always have L: drive in your system. Double-click on the new parameter and enter the desired command, say subst L: C: \. Now you will always have L: drive in your system. Double-click on the new parameter and enter the desired command, say subst L: C: \. Now you will always have L: drive in your system.
    By the way, this command works great in the entire line of Windows (from 9x to XP).
