Hi, everyone!
Well, when user logged on, in "My computer" appears some network disks:
"public on srv-fs" (W:) - as an example.

How to make "public on srv-fs" hide and leave only "W:" ?
Thanks

Hi,

If you can live with ".(W:)", put the following VBScript in a logon
script:


'--------------------8<----------------------

Call AdjustDriveDescription()


Sub AdjustDriveDescription

On Error Resume Next
Dim oShellApp, oWshNet, oDrives, i, sDrive

Set oShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set oWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oDrives = oWshNet.EnumNetworkDrives

For i = 0 to oDrives.Count - 1 Step 2
sDrive = oDrives.Item(i) & "\"
oShellApp.NameSpace(sDrive).Self.Name = "."
Next

On Error Goto 0
End Sub

'--------------------8<----------------------
 
Well, thanks a lot!

Hi,

You can use the MapNetworkDrive method for this on Win9x.

Note this one if you have a problem using it in a logon script, or you
need to obtain the UserName property:
