Network mapped drives (on LANs or WANs) are available only when the host computer (File Server) is also available (i.e. online): it is a requirement for use of drives on a host. All data on various mapped drives will have certain permissions set (most newer systems) and the user will need the particular security authorizations to access it.
Z: — First network drive if using Banyan VINES, and the initial drive letter assignment for the virtual disk network in the DOSBox x86 emulator. It is also the first letter selected by Windows for network resources, as it automatically selects from Z: downwards. By default, Wine maps Z: to the root of the UNIX directory tree. [10]
Device configuration overlay (DCO) is a hidden area on many of today's hard disk drives (HDDs). Usually when information is stored in either the DCO or host protected area (HPA), it is not accessible by the BIOS (or UEFI), OS, or the user.
It is often used in an office network environment, to ensure that users do not store data locally, when a network device is the preferred storage location. Folder Redirection allows saving data regardless of storage location and separates user data from profile data decreasing the time required to log on.
A separate Thumbs.db file was created if Windows 2000 was installed on a FAT32 volume. Windows Me also created Thumbs.db files. [2] From Windows XP, thumbnail caching, and thus creation of Thumbs.db, can optionally be turned off. In Windows XP only, from Windows Explorer Tools Menu, Folder Options, by checking "Do not cache thumbnails" on the ...
In NTFS, an entity in the filesystem fundamentally exists as: a record stored in the MFT of an NTFS volume, the MFT being the core database of the NTFS filesystem; and, any attributes and NTFS streams associated with said record. A link in NTFS is itself a record, stored in the MFT, which "points" to another MFT record: the target of the link
However, it can also be applied to other types of drive such as mapped drives. [5] It is available in MS-DOS versions 3.1 and later and IBM PC DOS releases 3 and later. [6] It is an external command. MS-DOS 4.0x and earlier used label.com as the external file. MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows use label.exe as the external file. [7]
CompactOS is an improved variant of WIMBoot from Windows 8.1, where system files could be stored in a compressed WIM image on a hidden disk partition, [22] and the WOF filter driver would decompress file contents from that WIM file; using alternate data streams instead of read-only WIM images allows CompactOS to recompress system files when ...
