Yeah, what's with this "mount" thing, anyway? I mean, it's got to be, like, at least 10 *KILOBYTES* (gasp)! I don't have that kind of space on my flash drive! And all this command-line scripting -- yuk, much better to use a GUI like regedit! It's not like the mounts aren't currently in the registry, anyway... Besides, importing a .reg file lets me bash right over the existing settings without a care in the world -- mount actually allows *saving* the current config, and who would want THAT?
