Back in the DOS days there was an assign command, so you could assign one driver letter to another (i.e. assigning a: to c:\temp caused all calls for the floppy to go to c:\temp instead)

Is it possible to do the same in Windows XP Pro? I have a program that will only allow me to export images to a:, but they are too big for a floppy.

Not sure if you can use "subst" for a drive that already exists (a: )....?
