You can pick any unused letter up to the value in the LASTDRIVE environment variable.

A variant is to use

net use * path

This will find the next usable drive letter, starting from Z. But this is not convenient in a batch file - I forget how to extract a value out of a text file in a DOS batch process. Even geezers forget sometimes!

<net use i: \\QDilgard\Root /persistent:no

The above is what I use.  I put this in a batch file that runs at
startup.  I have a delay of 15 seconds before this to insure that
network connections are up.>

Jeff,

I: is a "virtual drive" correct ? You could have picked any unused drive
letter designation in DOS ? Or did you do something in Windows ?

I ask because I tried that and it tells me that i: is not found (?)

Thanks,

Chuck
