How do I set up a "virtual drive". I need one to mirror my c-drive so other
computers on my peer to peer network can access data files.

Why don't you just enable sharing?

The software I use requires data files to me on one drive. If you use c:
then all of the computers will access their own c: drive and will not share
the data on the "server".
I did this on Windows 98 by doing the following;
In the autoexec.bat command
C:\windows\command\subst T: C:\

You can just map a drive. So C can be C local and T via the network (nothing stops you connecting to your files via T). This is the easiest. So do what you do on other computers on your computer too.
Or put subst in a shortcut and put it in Startup folder.

Thanks for your response.
I have the T drive mapped now, (i still use Windows 98 on the "server
computer"). But I am upgrading the computers and will be using XP
Professional on all of my computers.
On the server computer, I have to have a virtual drive (T), so I guess my
question now is can you direct me on putting the subst in a shortcut.
Appreciate all help I can get.

You just type
subst T: C:\
in a shortcut and drag it to the startup folder on Start.
R/C the desktop, New - Shortcut
