Tabs and USB discs

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Yes, I have understood that - and tried to find a solution: If I could install the console with a different current dir, the problem would not occur. But then the user couldn't start programs on the stick via command line...

An idea how to prevent the problem being caused/triggered by TC (according to what you described):
  • check, if conime.exe is already running
  • if not: execute (with working dir set to %SystemDrive%\):
    %ComSpec% /c echo.
If this was checked/executed when starting TC, the check has to be done only once.
It should print an empty line in a new console window and then close it immediately - maybe it can be started hidden or at least minimized.
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?
