It doesn't work as jeff described below either. I've done some
further testing. If I create values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for
the root directory then that is what is created as the default for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_USER. I still get a `device busy' error
with mount.
I might add that I'm on an NT3.51 client and that I have full
administrative privileges set. It is possible that this error only
occurs when full adminstrative privileges are set.
