Named Drives - 12.60 Question

[CookieMonster]

Named Drives. Now you can specify paths using their name (Volume Label) instead of the drive letter. This allows you to reference removable drives regardless of the unpredictable drive letter that the host system might assign to the drive.
For example, set the volume label of drive C: to "Lemon". Now enter the path "Lemon:\Users\Don\Pics\Rock" through the Address Bar.

Must you type in the drive name for example; suppose your drive had a name Places_Projects, would you type Places_Projects in the address bar. If so, I did just that and I get an error not found - location or item.

Also, if this possibility is perhaps restricted only to removable drives, I would suggest it not be. (Drives that do not have a removable property can be mounted to various letters.)

Just like with a drive letter you need to type a colon (:) after it to mark it as drive.

Code: Select all

Places_Projects:

Have done so before my previous post and now again. Not working.

BTW, I can not decompress the last portable beta (from 11:03 today). Maybe it is a problem at my side, maybe not.

You have tick Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Support volume labels in paths.

Try again, please.

Sorry, very embarrassing. Works.

Thanks, beta OK now.
