DriveLetter Variables

Did you try opening ANOTHER command prompt ?

The above tricked me until IcemanND explained it.

It does do as indicated: that is, it creates an environment in a different cmd or 4nt session.

The interesting thing is now, that if you have a usb-stick and a zip-drive, both of these are seen as removable. But i suppose it's better than nothing

4nt allows you to test if a drive is removable, cdrom, etc, but does not return a list of them (eg removable1).

A zip drive is considered a removable drive by the os. It has nothing to do with my program it's the way the os detects them.

im using it in commandline under xp and it doesnt do anything...i tried detectdrive removable1, detectdrive removable, detectdrive cdrom, detectdrive fixed cdrom removable backslash and nothing happens

For me it's also not working. I have tried it in the commandline under xp and win2k. nothing happens.

Please RE-READ the above posts.

Nothing is supposed to happen in the SAME command prompt session.

You need to open a new one to see the effects.
