How to map local drives. (Nothing to do with RDP!!)

I would like to create drive mappings to locations on my local disk. It seems
I can only map network locations. Isn't there something I can do via command
line to achieve this? It seems so basic I can't believe there is not a way
of doing this!

line. All set now!!

It is basic and it is easy! Run these commands from a Command
Prompt (Start / Run / cmd {OK}):

net share Test1="C:\Documents and Settings\Footy"
net use X: \\%ComputerName%\Test1

Drive X: will now point to the Footy profile folder.
