Changes in File Types and File Association
Features in Windows 2000
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 257592
- In Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, all entries
specific to file type associations are
stored in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is an alias of location)
In Windows 2000, a new location is added
for storage of user-specific file type
associations in the following registry
key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes.
This location allows for unique customization
of file type associations in the user's
profile, without having to duplicate
information in multiple registry locations
and unnecessarily increase the registry
size.

HOW TO: Mount a Volume
at an NTFS Folder
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 314449 - This
step-by-step article describes how to mount
and unmount a volume at an NTFS folder. A mounted
drive is a drive that is mapped to an empty
folder on a volume that uses the NTFS file system.
Mounted drives function as any other drives,
but they are assigned drive paths instead of
drive letters. When you view a mounted drive
in Windows Explorer, it appears as a drive icon
in the path in which it is mounted. Because
mounted drives are not subject to the 26-drive-letter
limit for local drives and mapped network connections,
use mounted drives when you want to gain access
to more than 26 drives on your computer.
