mapped drives

[Guest]

I have computers running XP Home edition. They have multiple user accounts
in each machine. We use a common shared drive that we map to on a server.
Is there any way to set a map drive for all users at one time? RIght now I
have to log into the computer as each user and map the drive under each name.

Try:

1. Open Notepad and enter:

net use x: \\servername\sharename ('x' = whatever drive letter you want to
use)

2. Save this file as login.bat

3. Copy login.bat to the following folder on each machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
