Guest John Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 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

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"
