I need a service running on an XP Pro SP3 box to access a drive letter which
is created using subst. However I can't find any way to set this up; I think
subst setups are limited to the session they're created in, is that right?
I've tried putting the command in HKLM Run, boot time scheduled task, logon
time scheduled task, and setting the service to run as my user account &
trying an HKCU Run task, but none of that seems to get executed/affect the
session created for the service.
I've also tried sharing the folder on the network and setting a persistant
connection to it instead of using subst, but that didn't work either.
Any advice? If it's not possible, i.e. there's no way to set up the
environment in which a service runs, I guess I'll just create an extra
partition and name it properly instead of using subst...
Thanks in advance,
Andy
