Using XP Pro. I've got a folder in my root directory that I'd like to map
as drive P:. Can't seem to make it happen. In Explorer, I click on Tools,
Map Network Drive. In the dialog box, there's an example of how to enter
the computer & dir name, so I follow that pattern and enter
\\Doug-Desktop\Para (all of which is correct). Windows searches for the
network drive and says it cannot be found. If I use the browse button and
point to C:\PARA, the OK button in that dialog is greyed out. What's going
on?

By the way, this is a standalone machine, no connections to any network.


so you are not trying to map a "network drive" , you are trying to assign a
drive letter to a local folder ...

you could create another partition on your HD and move the folder
there...then name the "new" drive as P:

any particular reason you are doing this ?
