š„ļø This one old-school command saved my project -- and no, Iām not kidding!
As a developer, I build databases and custom apps. Sometimes, clients send me projects that run off their G drive. I donātĀ have a G drive, and I donāt want to misuse time remapping their whole application just to open it.
So I reached for a vintage model: a DOS command that still works like a charm:
subst g: c:\
š” This tells Windows:
āMake the G drive point to my C drive.ā It vanishes after a reboot. But it saves me from endless reconfiguring. The client? They never even notice.
Are you old enough to remember DOS commands?
What was yourĀ favorite trick?
