I am currently trying to run Windows 3 with Novell 386 .
I have windows on my hard disk and various applications on the Novell server.

I have been trying to set the default directory for my windows utilities to
my home directory on the Novell server.

I have  tried the restoredrive=false line in my system.ini file but this doesn'tseem to have any affect. When I re-launch windows , the defaults for paintbrush
, write and calendar are back to the c: drive and the windows directory.

Has anyone out there succeeded in using the restoredrive option for this
purpose ?  

Or is there an alternative way to change these defaults ?

Thanks in advance .

Any help is greatly appreciated
