OK. Problem solved.
Shachar:
The problem lied within mkpath in autofd.h.
The first substring is always simply "X:" where X is the drive in question.
So CreateDirectory always tries to create the directory X:\ in the first
iteration.
If the drive is C, a simple "A subdirectory or file c: already exists" is
returned, but if it is not, then "access is denied" is returned, causing the
function to exit.
In my case, a simple check for (pseudocode to follow):
if ((subpath::end-1)==':') continue;
has solved the problem.
David:
if you need the recompiled exe before Shachar releases the next version, I
could send it to you.
Cheers
Julian
