Make a Windows Application Treat Removable Drive as Fixed or Network Drive as Local
Submitted by Kevin Kleinfelter on Thu, 2010-01-14 02:42.From time to time I run into a situation where a Windows program reacts poorly to certain drive classes. For example:
- A backup program that only backs up fixed, local drives, and I want it to back-up a removable drive or a network drive.
- A program that does something to all fixed, local drives, and I want to prevent it from accessing one of the drives by marking the drive as removable.
I need a way to tell Windows that it should say that the drive is different than it really is.
