Never thought of that! SUBST is more flexible, though, if you just want a
drive letter to point to a folder on the same machine, although if you have
a folder shared, you could set the drive mapping to be persistent, and never
have to worry about it again. Hmmm....

On that point, it's easy enough to redirect your "My Documents" folder into
another partition, but what would be the best way to redirect the whole of
Documents and Settings, so that Desktop and all the rest go with it? A
junction point?
