War3 Dir alias

Well, with all these tools out there it's a pain in the a** changing EVERY time the dir to C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\ (can be other like mine: D:\Games\War3\) ps. i'm a lazy guy.

So, like i did to my delphi projects folder, my personal folder, and my musics folder, i've created something like an alias to these dirs, with the good'ole dos =).

Everything u must do is:
right click on autoexec.bat in c:\
click edit
put somewhere (a new line, plz!!!) the following code:
subst W: C:\Progra~1\Warcra~1
it'll work if will installed the war3 at his default dir.
if u don't, just replace the path

and wow, u now just need to click on the W drive to open the war3 folder. u can do this to any folder in ur computer

btw i'm posting a tool 4 opening a dos prompt window at any folder, just right click it and click install. So when u right click a folder it'll have an option called "Open DOS". to uninstall just open the add/remove programs list and select KDEWolf's DOSHere

OBS.: I HAVE WIN98SE, IT WORKS ON ME BUT I DUNNO IF IT WORKS FOR XP!
