I know you can map drives, but I like to maps specific folders on client
machines to specific corporate folder on the server.

For example ClientPC1 with MyDocuments folder mapped to a folder on
\\Server1\CorporateWork\ClientPC1\ folder.

Is this possible?

thx

set the folder to be shared... when you map the network drive and select
that computer that folder will be there... just pick the folder...

Don't think you can. You can always map it to a drive, and then use linkd
from the resourcekit to create a junctionpoint into the local folder to go
to the mapped drive, but it's not a pretty solution.

If this is a Win2K domain, you could create a GPO and use folder redirection
which let's you redirect My Documents, Application Data, Desktop and Start
Menu to network locations.
