- We have had similar problems with Win 3.0, not 3.1, but perhaps our
- old solution works for you too.
-
- We used the 'subst' command to let all unused (not mounted) drives
- point to the C-drive. Example:
- subst h=c i=c
- Note that you should give all the drives in one 'subst'-command
- in stead of givoing each drive its own 'subst'-command.
-
- If your environment changes often, this will nog give you a proper
- solution, as you will have to change the command each time you
- change the environment.
