This is written somehow in Win32API help but is not very clear what doesn't work (you might think that you can't address the a: drive using "\\.\A:" for example..., which is obvious). So, you must use a virtual device. But I don't know how, since I hadn't time to play with it.

~Joe Johnston USA

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
~Samuel Adams
