Don't Go To Work:
« on: January 11, 2005, 03:40:25 AM »
Every now and then, when I install software, I somehow end up with my root drive, which I like to call DH0: being referred to as Work: Then, when I boot up, I get these system prompts where I have to assign the errant appplication to DH0: I was able to fix this once, for some other app, but (sheepish grin here) I don't remember how I did it, and I need to fix it again for another app. Where do these system prompts come from? I know that the application in question (StartMenu) is running from one of my Startup folders. Help, Mr. Wizard!  :oops:

Most properly written installer scripts will madew an assign in user-startup.

examphes are:
     Assign dpaint: dh0:
     Assign adpro: work:

Check your user-startup script in S:

What I used to do was place dated comments before and after each assign line so I could easily track when applications were installed.

Cheers
