Sharing drive and mapping drive letter via script

[John]

Hi

Is it possible to use some sort of script to share C drive on a standalone
PC and then map the letter Z to the shared drive?

Thanks

Regards

No need to share, just use the SUBST command.

First of all, you'd have to have "File and printer" sharing turned on.
I'm not sure about the scripting for creating a share but if you
manually created a share, you could then create a batch file for
mapping to it. For example, let's say you had a shared folder called
"Utilities" (that could be any folder including the C: drive) and your
computer's name was "thiscomputer" then Your command for mapping to
it would be "net use Z: \\thiscomputer\Utilities"

No, because, by definition, a "standalone" PC has no network connection
with any other computers, so sharing isn't an option.

It is possible to do so with networked computers, however.
