Map Network Drive / Profiles

[Guest]

Hi

I have a question... when I map a network drive on an XP box, is there any way to make that mapped network drive available under all profiles of that PC? Currenly, each new person that logs into this PC has to remap the drive

Thanks In Advance

Have you tried setting up the computer as you want, logged on as
administrator, then copying that profile to the default ?

Why not make a BAT file like this:

net use X: \\server\share

and save it under c:\util\map.bat (for example)

Then create a link to the bat file in c:\documents and settings\all
users\start menu\startup

/GK

This works just fine. I do it all the time when there is no domain
controller for processing a login script.

Except for the location of the shortcut, you can also use it for Win9x as
well.

I like using a batch file to make the network connections since it is very
easy for people to disconnect a network drive from the Windows Explorer. All
they need to do to reconnect is run the shortcut again.
