Displaying a Directory Structure with the Tree Utility
If you??™ve ever tried to get a complete picture of the directory structure of your hard drive using
Windows Explorer, you know the task is tough. Windows Explorer focuses on helping you perform
tasks, so it tends to focus your attention on a specific set of directories on the hard drive. In
fact, the default settings actually hide many directories from view. The Tree utility hides nothing.
Using the Subst Utility Effectively
The Subst utility performs a task that you can??™t perform within the Windows GUI. It makes directories
easily accessible to users. Instead of digging through the directory hierarchy, the user can access the
directory using a drive letter. In addition, you can use the Subst utility to equalize all systems on a network,
even if the various machines have different drive configurations. For example, you could set all
machines to use Drive X as the word processing directory.
