John:

That works fine, but when I turn the computer off the association is gone.

So I put it in a .bat file. But how do I get the .bat file to
automatically run at start??

I did put it in my START folder, but that didn't seem to work. I then put
it in my Program Files folder with a shortcut to that in my START folder
and that didn't work either.

Ideas?

Use the SUBST command at a Command Prompt:

subst g: c:/msworks/documents/north/stuff/now

The folder is now assigned to virtual drive G. If there are spaces in
the path you have to surround the path with quotation marks:

subst g: "c:/msworks/documents/north/stuff folder space in name/now"

To delete the virtual drive issue:

subst g: /d

For help on the command do: subst /?

I constantly go to a certain folder:

Say c:/msworks/documents/north/stuff/now

Is there a way for me to assign a letter, say G, that would point to
this folder??
