File Completion Syntax:

 

The default filename completion syntax is: dirs

 

Usage:

 

PSUBST works like the Windows SUBST command, but the drive substitution is persistent (i.e., when the machine is restarted).

 

PSUBST with no parameters will display a list of the current virtual drives. If a drive is persistent, it will be prefixed with a *.

 

Because PSUBST needs to write to the HKLM registry hive, PSUBST must be run in an elevated TCC session.

 

Options:

 

/=Display the PSUBST command dialog to help you set the command line options. The /= option can be anywhere on the line; additional options will set the appropriate fields in the command dialog.

 

/DDeletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

 

/PMake a new or existing virtual drive persistent.
