Hi friends,
after using intersvr/interlnk to shove some files from my Win98 laptop to my 486 laptop running Win95, suddenly I have 3 new "phantom" drives that show up in windows explorer. They show up with a size of 0 Kb and I when I click on one I get an access error, meanwhile Fdisk shows just my one partition (C:).
Did I accidentally make windows think these exist somehow? How do I get rid of them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
best regards
Henry

You might have a line in CONFIG.SYS that is loading interlnk. It creates 3 drive letters by default, even if you don't have another PC connected with intersvr at the time.

Look for line like DEVICE=INTERLNK.EXE and then comment it out or remove it until the next time you want to use interlnk.

Thanks, mate!

That was it. I had "rem"ed intersvr out of autoexec.bat but didn't realize it was interlnk that was creating those drive letters..
