There's an answer in the page you linked to. You don't need the third party tool, you can do it with a simple registry entry, as detailed on that page.

I found this because I was looking for an improvement over my startup subst scripts - they worked OK, but sometimes executed after folders crashed on startup because my drive wasn't yet mapped.

First, I edited the registry, but was unable to get it to work. However, I did come across this alternative, which although it doesn't use subst does answer for me the question, "How to make SUBST mapping persistent across reboots?

I adapted this from Hank Arnold's suggestion at this discussion of mapping local drives. I am expanding on davr's answer because any files that are deleted from the mapped drive are permanently deleted instead of going to the Recycle Bin. Change the paths and name to suit your situation. Since the original PSubst has some limitations and seems to be concluded by the author, I had to code a new version for my needs, fixing some problems and adding functionality and flexibility.

Note: This work has no intention of demeriting the original author and only came to existence because of real necessity, as follows:. As not everyone is a Windows expert, i figured the automatic admin elevation with error handling would help, based on coments I read through the web. As some people struggled with the arguments order, I figured it would be best for the script to work with arguments in any order. I am sharing the code so that others may not encounter the troubles I had.

By this there is no intention other than sharing and helping. Here are two examples using reg. These examples can be adapted as required. Open an unelevated cmd window as the current user, and paste in the adapted line. Note that there are two lots of character escaping in the second example.

Backslashes for the inner double-quotes that surround the path argument, and carets for the environment variable's percentage signs. Double-quotes aren't always required, but to avoid problems with folder names containing spaces it's recommended to use them. I know the question was asked more than 10 years ago and I can see the last answer was given about half of year ago Nevertheless I feel necessity to update this thread with my answer, because the psubst tool is mentioned here as the version by cyberponk.

It has been updated to the version 3. SUBST is useful to give a short path to access a set of files. However, if you don't need access at the original location then a virtual drive may be a useful alternative. It is also mounted automatically on each boot. The drawback is you can't access the files from the original location. Sign up to join this community.

See davr's answer below for details. Caveat from the Wikipedia article in the accepted answer: " Starting with Windows Vista, deleted files are immediately deleted permanently, and are not moved to the "Recycle Bin". IvoFlipse, that's a good assumption in general but in this case it's just wrong.

The '3rd party tool' is a line batch file that provides a nice cli for modifying a registry and cleaning input to comply with subst 's picky trailing slash rules, but it's just a pretty wrapper. I have added an answer that fixes the Recycle Bin problem — Tony Pulokas. For more information, see Avoiding Buffer Overruns. In C, these functions take a const pointer for the first argument.

The overload that takes a pointer to const returns a pointer to const ; the version that takes a pointer to non- const returns a pointer to non- const.

For more information, see Locale. By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this, see Global state in the CRT.

Compo Compo Unlike most of my code, this one was actually tested, on Windows Vista! You have a couple of typos, and I put it into a script.
