questions about mountvol

    I was playing around with mountvol and had a few questions.

    1. If I move a USB hard drive from one computer to another will it
    have the same VolumeName? If not, would it be possible to export the
    VolumeName's and reimport them on another computer? ie. maybe all of
    this is store in the registry?

    2. Will a drive whose mount point has been removed on one computer
    still have a removed mount point when plugged into another computer?

    3. One of the "examples" of mountvol that is given is MOUNTVOL [drive:]
    path VoleName. [drive:] is easy enough to figure out. What's an
    example of a valid path? I have a USB stick whose mount point I
    removed and then tried to remount to D:\test (where D: is an already
    mounted drive). That got me a "The parameter is incorrect." error.

    Also, if you try to mount an already mounted drive, will you always
    get a "The parameter is incorrect" error? I tried it just now and got
    that and.... well, that just seems like a rather inelegant error. If
    it can't mount already mounted drives, it should just say so. ie.
    "The VolumeID has already been mounted" or something, instead of "The
    parameter is incorrect".
