[snip] I'll just have to remember that using the root of a drive thru a volume guid from a commandline (cmd.exe) isn't going to happen. Though I think I should consider myself lucky that it allows me access to any contents of a subdirectory in such a root - as long as I know its name ofcourse. :-) Odd that parts of the commandline accept it, but others do not. :-| > But in Windows XP, additional software is needed for creating > junction/symlink, since Windows XP doesn't have any built in tool > for it It looks like "mountvol" does (something like?) that (the same program wich displays all volume guids). Thanks for the info. Regards, Rudy Wieser
