Aug 10, 2016 8:10 AM in response to sbermanby Gironda,thank you, but no, this only for finder, I need that all system and all applications will recognize the path "/Volume/P" as "P:" and with the aliases I can´t put this ":" as name.

Aug 10, 2016 5:09 PM in response to Barney-15Eby Barney-15E,I asked some questions on your other post, but I think that is irrelevant at this point.
Can you explain what you want to achieve without using example paths?

Aug 11, 2016 3:01 AM in response to Barney-15Eby Gironda,I work with a file that previously worked in windows and this file does reference to other files for work. And the path of the others files is "P:/documents/" and I cant change this path and I need have this path in my mac with the files inside, because if the file with I work, it doesnt find the others files in this path, I cant work.
I dont know if I explain good. sorry for my english.

Aug 11, 2016 5:33 AM in response to Girondaby Barney-15E,There is no way to create a path name in OS X with a colon in it. Sorry.
I don't think that would work, either as it is not looking for P:/documents, it is looking for P:\documents
If it is hard-coded to look for a Windows file path, I don't think there is a way to get around that.
You could try creating a "documents" folder at the root of your Startup drive, then rename Macintosh HD to P.
I'm still guessing it won't work.
The only other option would to be to set up Windows in a Virtual Machine on your Mac and run the file there.
