Mapping Network Drive

[Guest]

I am facing difficulties in mapping network drive. The new network drive I
create gets deleted everytime I logoff and logon. I have also tried to check
the option of reconnecting at logon. Is there any way to make the network
drive permanent. I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2.

Thanks,
Amlan

Create a batch file (e.g. netlogon.bat) in the following folder:

c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup

and place these lines inside it:

@echo off
net use S: \\SomePC\SomeShare

Is the file name has to be netloon and has to in the folder mentioned. Also
how do I create bat file. I tried by renaming a txt file but seems not to
working.

I wrote "e.g. netlogon.bat", implying that you can give it any
old name you like!

You write "It does not seem to be working". This is like you
telling the doctor "It hurts". The doctor needs to know a lot
more! You must tell us this:

- What is the name of the batch file?
- Where exactly did you place it?
- What is the contents of the batch file?
- What happens when you run it from a Command Prompt?
(To start a Command Prompt, click Start / Run, type
cmd {O}. Now type "c:\documents and settings\..\.."
(the full path & name of your batch file), and hit {Enter}.
