The drive selection box

 

By pressing the down arrow with the mouse (or pressing ALT+F1/ALT+F2), a list box opens with the available drives. Also a box with the volume labels or the server/net directory names for network drives is shown. If the network drive isn't connected yet, an (X) is shown in front of the network path. For speed reasons, the names of the floppy disks aren't shown. You can change the delay after which this list is shown by setting 'DriveTipDelay' in wincmd.ini

 

Just click on the desired drive or press the drive letter to open the drive.

 

In Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 you can right click on the drive to get a context menu, which allows you to format or copy disks, share the whole disk over a network, show the context menu, etc.

 

If you have multiple removable disk drives or CD-ROM drives, you can give them individual names, by modifying the file wincmd.ini in the Windows directory. Create a new section with the title [DriveHints], and add one line per drive, like this:

 

[DriveHints]

E=ZIP drive

F=MO drive

G=CD Burner

H=CD-ROM
