File Manager: Can't Redirect Local Drives; Use Net Redirector

ID: Q92871

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

You cannot redirect or substitute a network drive for a local drive in File Manager. If you need this functionality, use the MS-DOS-based real-mode redirector, Net.

In general, redirecting local drives is not recommended. However, in some cases, you may need to do this in order to work with a program that is hard-coded for a specific drive. For example, some installation programs allow you to install from the drive A only. You can redirect drive A to a network drive with Net and then use the installation program successfully.
