Shared folders problem

[Drake96]

I have 5 external usb drives that each have shared folders. When the computer
reboots, only 3 of the shares remain. The settings are correct to reconnect
at login but the last 2 never keep after a reboot. Any suggestions are
appreciated.

This probably happens because the mechanism that deals with shares cuts in
before your USB drives are ready. You would see a corresponding error
message in your event logger (eventvwr.exe). You could get around the
problem by putting the following lines into the batch file
"c:\documents and settings\all users\start
menu\programs\startup\netlogon.bat":
@echo off
net share USBShare1="F:\SomeFolder"
net share USBShare2="G:\Some Other Folder"
