Rapid Development – Generate your drive mappings

I posted a week ago about how to map a directory to a drive letter. This was a good tip for me because to get to my webroot directory, I needed to click 6 times. These 6 clicks have annoyed me for so long, I built a tool to generate the mapping scripts.

The SUBST generation tool uses JQuery. There is no technical wizardry involved, I promise. Matter of fact, all of the logic is client side, so you can view the source if you like. Building the tool seemed like a fun little morning task and I happen to have a few spare moments. I hope you like it.

Note: I’ve tested this on WinXP, if there are other steps needed for other Windows based OS’s, please leave a comment and I’ll add it to the program straight away.
