windows persistens subst

In tips & tricks on 30 January 2010 tagged regedit, subst, windows with no comments

if you have a habit to dump everything in desktop like me, it must be messy and annoying for you to manage them especially when using cmd-prompt because the path is so long.
to prevent this we can use subst to associate the path to drive letter but, the problem is it's not permanent.
so here's a trick to make it permanent every time you restart your pc

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\DOS Devices]
"Z:"="\\??\\C:\Documents and Settings\novatech\Desktop\programming"

you can change Z: and C:\Documents and Settings\novatech\Desktop\programming path to suit yourself
good luck
