Hi,

I don't use batch files a lot, so the intricasies of Switch.bat are
something I don't want to bother myself with. Instead of using
switch.bat (the file that switches between the debugging and the
non-debugging mode of windows), I just copy the relevant files to the
SYSTEM directory. This seems to be a lot faster, specially using
xcopy. So I have lines like:

xcopy c:\windev\debug\*.* c:\windows\system

and 

xcopy c:\windev\nodebug\*.* c:\windows\system

This seems to work just fine. What other things are people doing?
