The Subst utility can also make network
reconfigurations invisible to the user. If you set Drive X as the word processing drive, it doesn??™t matter
where the actual directory appears on the network and you can move it around at will. Here??™s an example
of the Subst utility used to redirect the G:\Windows directory to the L drive.
Subst L: G:\WINDOWS
The substitute drive letter always appears first; the directory appears second. Type Subst by itself to
display a list of substituted directories. You can obtain additional ideas and detailed information about
this technique by reviewing the TechRepublic article at http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-

270 CHAPTER 9 MANAGING THE HARD DRIVE
It??™s easy to become quite overwhelmed by the amount of information it provides. This utility uses
the following syntax:
TREE [drive:][path] [/F] [/A]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
drive Specifies the drive to examine. The default is the current drive.
path Specifies the absolute or relative path to examine. The default is the current directory.
/F Displays the filenames in each directory as well as the directory names.
