Mapping Local Drive to other Drive path

Just in case if in your development environment has a hardcoded drive mapping path in your config file and you don’t have the drive exists in your local

The workaround is run the command below

C:\Windows\System32\SUBST D: C:\

And run SUBST after to confirm

And then you can access it in command line and mapped it in TFS will work as well BUT it won’t appear on Windows Explorer.

Shutdown your computer will remove this virtual mapping. So I recommend you to create a BATCH file and put it as startup (you can put the batch file on this location "C:\Users\{User Profile}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup")
