Creating Search Drives

Adding the -s option to a link expression will prepend the path with the newly mapped drive.

For example, if 'W' is a drive mapping created with the -s option, the path will look like the following:

W:.;Z:.;C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;C:\UTILS

This option modifies the environment only for the application being launched. Other applications do not see the new search drives. The -s option is ignored if it is combined with the -p option.

Example of the -s option:

LLNT -s\\server1\vol1\apps\access msaccess.exe
The above example creates a temporary search mapping to the 'access' directory. The newly mapped drive letter is mapped to \\server1\vol1 and the current directory on the drive is changed to apps\access. Note that the search feature relies on the ability of LinkLaunch NT to change current directories. Only the drive letter is put on the path.
