ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method, system and process for automatically customizing a computer environment based on the current active computer disk directory. Detection of the current active disk directory and any change of disk directory by a user triggers a search for a file that initiates the computer environment. Upon detection of the file, the system reconfigures the operating system to meet the user's requirements based on the disk directory.
