UAC and elevated applications: Visual Subst seamlessly creates virtual drives for elevated applications duplicating the drives created for the standard user.Visual Subst makes virtual drives usable again under newest versions of Windows: All virtual drives are removed when the user logs off or restarts the computer. You cannot define drive labels - label of the source drive is always used and it cannot be changed.

Virtual drives created with 'subst' command aren't visible for elevated applications (if you run a file manager or Command Prompt as administrator, you will realize that apps see these drives differently). Unfortunately, there are some significant limitations with the built-in 'subst' command under Windows Vista and above. It is just one more Windows feature added for backward compatibility with old programs and batch scripts. Generally, a virtual drive is a symbolic link in the local MS-DOS device namespace. Visual Subst provides you with a clean, simple and distraction-free user interface where you can manage all your virtual drives at any time. You can use virtual drives everywhere - it's so much easier to access files in a project directory you are currently working on using just a single drive letter.
