Re: Fooling Win 95....

There is a program floating around (if you can't find it let me know) called
"fakecd" which lets you use a hard-drive/logical drive as if it were a CD-ROM.

I haven't tried this, but I'm pretty sure you could configure a network
drive as a logical drive to be a 'faked' cd and this would mimick being a
local drive.

Will try it if I get a chance.
