Post #187,853 by Arkadiy 12/22/04 2:58:46 PM Reply	Added a harddrive recently to a Win XP machine Lo and behold - it gives me an option to mount it under an empty directory of C: drive! Took Microsoft only 15 years and 5 versions (?) to implement this advanced functionality. -- Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem. Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his/her office? A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

Post #187,868 by inthane-chan 12/22/04 4:43:06 PM Reply	Yeah, but half the functionality still don't work right... Most apps still check "global" disk space left, not local directory space left.

Post #188,082 by Arkadiy 12/24/04 8:39:50 AM Reply	Well, I never had to add a drive to a 2000 machine And even now, this thing is slightly broken... I found that the folder icon of this "junction point" is a harddrive. And there is no way to change it, although normal folders can have different icons. -- Q.
