Re^3: Prevent windows dialog when using file test -e

He might have meant 0x8000. If 0x8000 works, I'd use that. Using 0x0001 could disable more than you intend to disable.

Yes but Mode 0x8000 didn't disable the "Drive not ready" on my machine. Is there a Mode that only disable this Dialog ?	[reply]

Earlier, you said 8 didn't work. You hadn't said anything about 0x8000. I didn't know if it would work, which is why I suggested you use it if it works.	[reply]

Yes, first I tried 8, then 0x8000, then 0xFFFF and finally I've come to 0x0001. The last is the one I use currently cause it disables the Dialog (0xFFFF does too). I dont know if there is any other possibility (Mode) to do this, but a dialog poping up three times for each file tested with -e on a path that points to a empty CD-Rom is really annoying.	[reply]
