Instructions:
It uses E:\MapDrives.txt to know the mapping,
for example,
following line:
V=E:\videos\
will create drive unit
V:
that points to
E:\videos\
To unmap a drive, just chnage the string to:
V=
Although unmapping seems not to work very well. No idea why.
Remember:
- The drive unit must be 1 capital letter.
- The source path must end with "\"
- If the source needs permissions, then you need to use CapsOff (or similar) all the time.
- You can't map the default units Z: C: D: or E:
The utility of this program lays in two areas:
To allow easy access to the folder c:\sys\bin\ in symbian, the libraries are searched in the order C: , Y: , X: , ..., D: , B: , A: , Z:
so you can replace a library with another one.
It is not supposed to work for programs loaded from ROM, but sometimes it does, which
allows to fool the system. I recommend doing this in E:\b\ and NOT in E:\a\
To use it you need to sign with DiskAdmin capabilities (because program calls RFs::SetSubst), which probably you don't have. Alternatevly you can use the hack to disable capabilities-checking before running the program.
After running, the program exists inmediatly with no message whatsoever. After this, you can enable capabilities-checking again.
