FIXED!
Simply changed the contents of the batch file to:
CD
subst s: "c:program filessteamsteamappsmycokerewards"
...and it works! the CD just clears to the root directroy for anyone who
doesn't know. the other commands were unnecessary i guess...

Here's the contents of my batch file called "subst.bat", shortcutted to in the startup folder, as in the end of the steam tutorial:
@ECHO OFF
subst s: "c:program filessteamsteamappsmycokerewards"
CLS
EXIT
If I paste the command directly into the dos prompt, it works fine, but if I double-click the batch file, or leave try to run through the startup folder, it doesn't work... the dos window just seems to hang there doing nothin...

Yeah, I probabley should have done that a while ago lol! =)
K, sorry I took so long to try these things!
I don't have ""Use Simple Filesharing (recommended)" and make sure it is unticked" available as an option.
When I right-click D: and properties, there is no "security" tab...
Maybe these are clues as to what's wrong with my XP permissions?! Thanks for all the detailed heop Playbus!

Thanx!
I'll try it and get back to you if it works! As you might expect, steam-powered's less-than-rapid/useful responce was something like "you
have an issue with your windows installation"... LOL!

no, but I just rememberd a piece of pertinent information that I left out.
When I first tried to install steam to the D drive, I simply changed the install destination to "D:". (I thought the installation would automatically create the "Steam" subdirectory, but it did not.)
Needless to say, I didn't want all the Valve files in my bare D drive, so i uninstalled it from that location, and ever since, it won't work to any other subdirectory.
I should also mention that upon uninstalling, the uninstallation inexplicably deleted some of my shortcuts originating from other unrelated programs on the d drive, but the programs themselves work fine.
Jeez, did I screw my filesystem or somthing?! : O

I deleted the steam registry entry as the steam-powered instructions. I hope those are only really bad mispellings oversights ,and my computer isn't dying or I'm not getting Parkinson's or some brain disease! : O
Um, I don't know what a domain environment is, so I'm guessing "no"?! = )
There is only one account on this computer, and it's the "Anlimited Administrator" (there are no guest or other accounts). I searched for more options under "User Accounts" but found none.
Maybe if I can't get It to work I can install it to my external hard drive?! : P
Oh and yes, I tried creating the directory and various subdirectories all with similar results. : (
Thanks for trying everyone and the qwick responces!

I dont know what u mean. like make another administrator user account?
I'm trying to install Steam to my d: drive. I AM logged on
as administrator.
When I try to install to D:steam, it gives the error during installation:
ERROR 1303: THE INSTALLATION HAS INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES TO ACCESS THE DIRECTORY...
When I try to install to d:program filessteam, it gives this error:
ERROR 1317: AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYIN TO CREATE THE DIRECTORY.
I searched and filled out a support request on steam-powered, and are awaiting a response...
I can't install to the default directory on the C drieve, because I don't have enough space. Steam installed just fine to the D partition on my other computer...
Anyone else had this trouble, or can think of an alternate installation ideas?
