‘D:\Data\User Files\Shared\Important\VIPClient\Sarath File\Project 2009\’

Alternative method is to go for a boring short cut of the folder.

It will be very nice, if we can refer this folder as: R:\ .

We are commonly doing this with network locations for mostly used folders. But it is not normally used with the local folders. Just a week before, I learned this thing. You can make use of the command line for doing this. If you are a GUI lover you can go for a simple program called Visual Subst.

(1) In command line using “subst” command

Windows offers a legacy dos command called “subst”. This associates a path with a drive letter.

Syntax of the command is given below.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]

drive1: This is the virtual drive to which you want to assign the path.

[drive2:] You can assign the path to this physical drive. a virtual drive.

SUBST drive1: /D

This can be used for deleting the Drive created.

If you are tying the command “ SUBST ” without parameters, it will give the details of virtual drives.

(2) Visual Subst

For lazy GUI lovers windows offers the free GUI tool. Visual Subst will manage drive creation for you. This program will help you in creating the drives and will setting up them in reboot time. You can download this tool. This will give a start menu access to the drives.

This will help all peoples who works with files and folders.

The traditional method includes micro phones and tape records. But in the modern century it is considered to be awkward. So we need to solve it digitally. Numerous software have been exclusively developed in this context, out of which some are free some are paid. We will go through the methods for recording Skype calls in both Windows and Macs in this article. Lets first consider Windows since it is the most popular OS in use now.

Recording Skype calls on Windows

Skype call recorder is a efficient call recording utility. It can be kept hidden in the system tray. The software will automatically start recording any incoming or outgoing calls. The calls are stored in mp3 format. One of the important feature is that it can record multiple calls at the same time, one active and the other one on hold. Each conversations will be separately stored to its own file. Make sure that you don’t misuse this software for any kind of illegal practices.

Recording Skype calls on Mac

The sad thing is that there are no such dedicated free software in Mac platform. But you can manage to record your Skype calls through some other available utilities. One of such utility on Mac is the Audio Hijack Pro. It is an easy to use utility which can record the output sound of any application to an AIFF file. Skype calls too can be recorded in this way.

But one drawback is that it has got no automatic recording. Every time you have to initiate the recording by a button-click. But a button click is not a complex action to be performed. So it is not a serious issue. The trial version can record up to 10 minutes. It is well enough provided you are not a big chatter.

No such limitations are there once you have the GarageBand. The criterion is you will need to install LineIn and Soundflower applications.
