   I'll just have to remember that using the root of a drive thru a volume guid   
   from a commandline (cmd.exe) isn't going to happen.   
      
   Though I think I should consider myself lucky that it allows me access to   
   any contents of a subdirectory in such a root - as long as I know its name   
   ofcourse. :-)   
      
   Odd that parts of the commandline accept it, but others do not. :-|

   It looks like "mountvol" does (something like?) that (the same program wich   
   displays all volume guids).   
      
   Thanks for the info.
