Map Network Drive with name

[r.hall]

Hi

I know how to map a network drive from the net use command:

net use k: \\SERVERIP\e$ PASSWORD /user:Server name\login /
PERSISTENT:NO

But then when I go on windows explorer, the server is displayed in my
list with SERVEIP and $e, which is fine, but can I create an alias, so
that say "$E on 'RichDatabaseServer1" is displayed, so i can easily
distinguish between the servers I've mapped drives to, rather than the
server name or IP.

I know when you map a drive from windows exploerer under tools .. you can
have it reconnect on restart and you can just right click the drive in
explorer and rename it like you would any other folder/drive

Thanks, problem is I want it more automated. The links aren't always
there, so I have a big list of cmd files to select net uses up on and
then when the user looks its just IP or meaningless DNS names. I want
to beable to rename the map from within the cmd file.
