Very simple way to handle this: G:\myfavapp\app.exe = \myfavapp\app.exe. Problem solved :)-Ehtyar (October 15, 2007, 07:47 AM)

Ehtyar:
Just remove the drive spec, windows will interpret it as "from the root of the drive this program is running off". Why didn't you just try it?

Ehtyar.

Thank you for this reference, PhilB66.  I have now set up my various usb sticks and drives to my liking, mounted in NTFS folders.

hi Ehtyar,
I wasnt trying to be smart (well maybe I was but I didnt mean to offend) -
in fact the opposite is the root problem :) (being completely ignorant of how to proceed)

I do want to make my usb stick a fixed drive
But while I have no idea what to do iwith "G:\myfavapp\app.exe = \myfavapp\app.exe" -
is it intended for PowerPro as well? I do have PP running... do I make a script with it as edbro suggested?
it probably doesnt suit me cause I use the USB stick for backup -
I dont think I have any programmes on it anymore

[On the other hand if it's as easy as you say I could put a programme on it simply to implement this]
