Hi

i right click my e: drive and select properties to assign it a hotkey but

But saw that the 'program' tab is missing in the properties dialogue box.

Only two tabs are there:

General , Tools

in general there should be five tabs:

General, Porogram, Memory, Screen , Misc

Shouvik:

The program tab is only available for DOS programs, not for drives.  The tabs for a FAT32 drive's properties dialog box are:

* General
* Tools
* Hardware
* Sharing

Regards,
Doc

Hi doc,
I have a Fat, but whether Fat 16 or Fat 32, I don't know that.
But it shows at System Properties ---> Performance tab as file System : 32 bit
My hdd is 2.1 GB.


[size=18]surprisingly, when i drag the e drive to the start menu (above the "programs" option),
and then right click it > properties and then saw two tabs: General, Shortcut.
i can enter a shortcut key in the "shortcut" tab.

but when i right click the  e drive in 'My Computer' >properties> i see two tabs: General , Tools.
i can not
enter a shortcut key here. [/size]
