Subject: [Virtio-fs] How do I start the Windows Virtio-FS service with a different, permanent drive letter that isn't Z?

To Whom It May Concern:

I was following the instructions in regards to getting Virtio-FS running on a Windows 10 VM in Proxmox 7.3-3 and that part works fine.

However, at the end of those instructions, it says that I can use the "-m" in the command line to explicitly set a drive letter.

I tried editing the VirtioFsSvc service in the Windows Registry Editor either by changing the ImagePath or trying to add the Parameters registry key and neither seemed to work.

Is there a way for me to be able to pass the start parameters so that it would use those the "-m" option automatically?

I even tried creating a really simple batch file, but that leaves a command prompt window open, where once I close said command prompt window (even if I run the batch file in background mode), it will close/disconnect the Virtio-FS connection in said Windows 10 VM.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ewen
