My brain doesn't feel like doing much (thanks school) so that might not be the best option yet, but I'll definitely look into file-to-file editing later. For now I'll stick with a main registry file for each virtual "drive". And yes, I'm making a mock os, but I'm making it to teach others about real operating systems without all the word soup Wikipedia has, not that no one knows already.
>>FGW - I thought about that but names would get too long and things would get complicated, especially if this would be for a mock os. Instead I think a "file registry" file which showed the locations of each file would simplify things in a mock os. To prevent this hideous mess, there should be sub-folders.
>>SmileBOOM - Pleeeease make it happen!!!
