mappings

[jaez]

We have a number of XP and win 98 machines in a peer to peer network in our
office.

One of the win98s has a number of shared folders which were manually mapped
as drive letters on each of the other machines with the reconnect at login
box ticked. All works fine

We would now like to remap these to settings as we are due to change the
layout of the network. Yes we could undo the existing mappings and reapply
each by hand.

I just wondered if the mapping details are stored somewhere in the registry
(or some other place)

and if they could be changed from there.

Yes, the drive mappings for WIn98 machines are stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\Persistent\ and
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Network\Persistent I'm not sure
where it is on XP machines. Since this is a per user
thing, if you have more than one user account set up on
each machine you will have to log on and do it for each
(or have registry fragment merge on startup).
