To Whom It May Concern:<br>
<br>
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.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0); background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">

<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0); background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
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.</div>

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.</div>

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

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.</div>
