Talk:SUBST

Previous change
Just a note about my previous change. I removed references to "DOS on Windows XP" (or Windows 2000) because there is no such thing as a "DOS prompt" or "DOS windows" on the Windows operating systems (NT, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista.) DOS is a different and separate operating system which does not exist on Windows (except in Windows 98 and older systems.) Instead, it should be called the "Command Prompt", "Command Window", "The Win32 Command Prompt" etc.

I tried adding a reference, but gave up eventually. Can somebody fix the formatting on this one please? It's meant to be an external link to a https site... 85.3.157.46 (talk) 18:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Not correct
This article is not completely correct. Windows does not allow renaming (F2) of a virtual device created via SUBST. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.179.220 (talk) 14:55, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Method 4
net use u: "\\computerName\c$\pathName" /persistent:yes

Where computerName may be your local computer (or a network computer) and c$ is the automatically available admin share for (in this example) my C drive. Note, network drives like this are real file system drives, in the file system, marked as a network drive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.147.84.38 (talk) 11:19, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no Method 3
In the section "Other methods for Persisting across reboots," it starts with "Method 3 is the recommended approach, but the others may work as well." But there is no Method 3. Matchups 13:15, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

How-to
A good deal of this article essentially just a how-to guide, so I've added the How-To template. Clearly someone has put quite a bit of effort into writing it, so I don't want to just delete it. If someone has the time, it'd probably be good for copying onto Wikiversity so it doesn't go to waste. —— Jonathan FarnhamJ 03:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
