I will play devil's advocate EOF. :cheesy:

Is there any reason why you shouldn't mount a dir (c:\oldgames) as C: ?
No, no reason whatsoever.
It has only advantages to mount a dir as C:.
For starters it will keep your C: a bit clean, as some old dosgames saves directly on c: (doom ...) and some installers wants to alter config.sys .....
(Don't forget that you can run dosbox in W98, do you really want those old installers alter config/autoexec?)
Plus it makes a complete mess of your c: .

If you not on a admin account FORGET mounting/writing directly to your C:.

And most important: do you really want those n00bs working on C:? I don't, really not.

Never been on Linux or Unix EOF? ya know, those OS that everyone consider much more secure then Windows? One of the reasons is that you don't work on your root. Forget installing dosbox/mounting using your root on those.
But yeah, lets all mount our C directly in Windows, so that we all can whine a bit more how unsecure Windows is ... LOLZ.

Never been on Vista yet EOF? MS begins (FINALLY!!!) doing the same way, secured. ('Bout time if you ask me). Vista gonna love a C: mount, really.

And add some more bla bla bla .... :laugh:

Of course my question still is:
Is there any advantage or reason why you should mount C:? No.
None whatsoever. Period.
