Since you're all sharing DOS tips I may as well join in :)

<tip author="Josh Studd" type="Virtual Drive with DOS">
To make both windows and dos think you have an addional drive you can map a
directory to a driver letter. To do this, run "command.com" to enter a Dos
prompt and type:
"subst c:\directory k:" (without the "")
This maps the directory "c:\directory" as being "k:".
to make it happen each time you restart, make a simple batch (.bat) file
with the command in and place it in your startup folder.
