DESCRIPTION

Kana Virtual Drive is a command line Windows program, which
can be used to map a folder into drive letter. This program
is similar to CDSUBST.EXE program in DOS.
By mapping a folder into drive letter, you can easily access
a folder with depth path.


***************************************************************
USAGE

To automatically mapping your folder into drive, run this
utility automatically with Windows. You can create a
shortcut and put it into Start folder, or create an entry
inside Run section of registry.


***************************************************************
SYNTAX

VDCmd.exe -d=letter -p=path [-r] [-q]

where:
-d=letter
  Specify the drive letter to create.
  letter is the drive letter.
  This parameter is required.

-p=path
  Specify the folder path where the drive letter will be mapped.
  path is the folder path. 
  If the folder path includes a space, please enclose the path with 
  quotation mark.
  This parameter is required when adding new substitution.

-r
  Include this to remove the virtual drive.
  This parameter is optional. Without this the substitution will be 
  created.

-q
  Quiet mode. If required parameters are missing, no help message will be 
  displayed.
  This parameter is optional.
  

Example:

VDCmd.exe -d=I -p="C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\My Pictures"

Will map your My Picture folder into drive I.

VDCmd.exe -d=I -p="C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\My Pictures" -r
or
VDCmd.exe -d=I -r

Will delete the mapping of drive I.

NOTE:
  - The -d, -p, -r, and -q are case insensitive. So, -d and -D
    are the same.
  - You can use / instead of -. So -d and /D are the
    same.
