Carl,

Try searching regedit for lastdrive.  It should show up under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

You can click on lastdrive to edit it.  In my registry, I have lastdrive
with
a value of Z, and MemphisDetectedLastDrive with a value of Z.

You can check the config.sys in the WINDOWS\COMMAND or WINDOWS\COMMAND\EBD
folder
and either change or add it there, but I'm not sure if that will affect
anything.
It doesn't hurt though.

That's all I can think of for now.

Dan

This may be slightly off topic, but it involves mapping a drive letter in
CAE to a file share on the net server.  I have the netserver working fine
and the share works fine, however I have one user who can only use certain
drive letters to map to the share.  (ie, drive letter F works fine, drive
letter P says an invalid local device has been used).  There is nothing else
mapped to P.
In old DOS/Win3.1 there was a stmt that went into either AUTOEXEC or
CONFIG.SYS that said LASTDRIVE=M:.  Is there a similar setting for Win98.  I
checked to see if there was an autoexec or config.sys that had this
statement (since we all know that WIN98 still runs DOS), but could not find
anything.  Anyone have any ideas?
