That isn't what we're talking about. You're talking about changing the 
setting that says basically what the environment variables get set to. We're 
talking about mounting a partition as a directory, just like the "mount" 
command in Linux.  Same path, different drive.

I was pretty sure it moved the directory if you went thru the normal GUI to 
do that, but maybe not.

You're not talking about the same thing we are. And they fixed this in Vista 
anyway.
