Try "command" in that field instead. I don't even know if it still ships with Windows 7, but my gut says yes.

  Interesting that it still ship/s|ped/. I am wondering why drive letters still exist. Was there a need for continuity across Windows platforms with different bases (3.1/NT/9x) or was the mania for backwards compatibility such that the model needed carrying forever? Surely it is trivial enough to abstract \hd0 as C: for legacy applications. This comes to mind because of the irritation of assigning a drive letter to a SMB map only to have it usurped by some multi-card reader USB thing which nabs drive letters up to H: Surely a case for a class-based VFS - \hd, \usb, \opt(ical) ;) edit I had momentarily forgotten about the 8.3 PROGRA~1/ mess. Please disregard any misguided attempt at an elegant "out" ;)

    The drive letter mappings are essentially already that - partition letters are totally arbitrary. Under the hood, partitions are addressed via UNC paths.

      It is not UNC paths. It is NT device paths.

  64-bit Windows 7 has no 16-bit subsystem, so it cannot run command.com, nor any DOS application. Old games and the like need to rely on DosBox or Windows XP Mode or similar virtualization approaches.
