Map a Drive to Itself?

[Guest]

Hello,
We have about 5 PCs in our office. There is no server but there is one PC
whose C drive is shared amonst the other PCs in a peer to peer fashion. The
PCs who access the shared drive access it as a Z drive. We need to map the
PC with the shared C drive as drive letter Z also. Can this be done and if
so how? When we tried to map the C drive on the shared PC to a Z letter, it
would not let us. Thanks very much.

You should be able to map it but a better way is the subst command. Open a
cmd prompt and type subst /? for the correct syntax and parameters. It would
look like this.

subst z: c:\shared_folder_name

And that command could be out on a logon batch script...
