MSCDEX.EXE Parameters in AUTOEXEC.BAT
MSCDEX.EXE forms part of Microsoft DOS v6.00 and higher and Microsoft
Windows 3.00 and higher. This program is required to incorporate the CD-
ROM drive via an additional drive designation letter into the file system of
your computer. Users of other DOS versions, such as Novell DOS, should
refer to their DOS manual to find out what their equivalent of MSCDEX.EXE
is called and which parameters it supports. Please note that MSCDEX.EXE
can only be used with DOS version v3.00 and higher.
/D:<device name>
This parameter tells MSCDEX.EXE the name of the device driver. It must cor-
respond to the name used during loading of the device-specific driver in CON-
FIG.SYS.
/E
MSCDEX.EXE is to use expanded memory.
/L:<letter>
Indicates the drive letter to be used for the CD-ROM drive. Without this para-
meter, the next available drive letter will be used.
/M:<size>
Indicates the size of the memory buffer to be used. A value of 10 corresponds
to 20 kB of memory. Values above 32 have no significant effect on the perfor-
mance of the drive.
/V
Provides verbose information on the use of memory.
/S
Allows the CD-ROM drive to be shared in a local network.
