LASTDRIVE
I
CifJ
1 LASTDRIVE
=
drive
Sets the last valid drive designation that MS-DOS accepts. This
command is only useful in a network environment.
drive is the logical drive specification of the last valid drive. It is
a letter in the range A to Z. Note that you do not place a colon
following the drive letter. The default value is E.
At startup, MS-DOS recognizes five drive letters, A-E, regard-
less of the number of physical drives you have on your system. A
network redirection must occur to make any of the extra drives
defined by LASTDRIVE valid.
MS-DOS allocates a data structure for each drive you specify.
Therefore, do not specify more than necessary.
Example:
lastdrive=m
sets the last drive to Drive M, unless you have added an exter-
nal logical device with the device driver DRIVER.SYS. MS-DOS
now recognizes Drives A through M. (See Appendix C, "Installa-
ble Device Drivers," for more information on DRIVER.SYS.)
SHELL
SHELL
=
pathname
Causes MS-DOS to start a command processor other than the
standard COMMAND.COM processor.
This command is intended for system programmers who write
their own top-level command processor.
