Hi, Just wondering: is it possible to create symobolic links on directories, just like you would in UNIX ? It could be used for example the following, when asking to save a file (from an internet browser, a word processor, some or another program ..) it is sometimes hard to navigate to a certain directory, you want to place this file. You could then, create a subdirectory on the desktop, which actually is that directory somewhere on some disk.

Hmmm... I don't know if that's possible. However, you may assign the directory to a variable on your autoexec.bat file, so you could use that variable. Example: in autoexec.bat: SET X=C:\Myfile~1\Data\Other\Nonsense On the command prompt, to EDIT the file stuff.dat located on that strange directory above, you would do: edit %X%\stuff.dat instead of edit C:\Myfile~1\Data\Other\Nonsense\stuff.dat -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br

Use the SUBST command. It exists in DOS 6.22 and Win98 DOS. I am not certain about other flavors of DOS. Syntax is: SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path] drive1 = assigned drive letter drive2: path = path to assign to drive1 SUBST drive1: /D delete said link SUBST list all assicated paths and their drive letters. Type SUBST /? at a command prompt if in doubt of proper usage. -Doug
