[@Robert] I did check back to the page a few times since I wrote that post and never saw any replies so figured no one was interested… I shall compile a set of instructions aimed at windows 10 but should function in any windows from windows 2000 and above, even windows 11… I have noticed one caveat the mechanism might get removed by the uninstallation of one of the softorbits programs due to improper way it tries to delete the root folder of all softoribts installations even if there are other softorbits programs installed… this silently fails in a conventional installation as one cannot delete a folder that contains something else without deleting those first apparently but one can delete an empty folder used as a an anchor for another volume instead a of a drive letter… what I consider a bug in the handling of that folder… but micorosft would just view it as a quirk of the rules and ignore it and never fix it as it has existed since the process was invented and remains until today… I shall try an ACL hack to deny writes and modify to the folder and see if that fixes it without breaking the other drives ACLs which according to similar rules there probably is no ACL inheritance rules from folders used in place of drive letters to map a local volume… trying it out now… might stop new installations though… When I do publish the process it will be on that page if it is still available, if not I’ll find another way to publish it.
