Lock X:
where X is the drive letter you want to lock.

Only use I know of is to install Win NT 3.51 from a Win95 MS-DOS prompt

Hi,

Lock is a DOS command. Allows a program to directly access a drive. From DOS type 'Lock /? enter'. It will give you a little info about it. If you are programing you might have a use for it.

Luck, Jim
