Hi,

I have 2 PC with XP. PC 1 has a 40GB USB-Disk attached (via direct USB
cable) and share it.

PC 2 mounts it with the following characteristics:

1. in the Explorer it is shown as C:\<sharename> on PC 1
2. it is of type "folder", not link !
3. it is a folder like e.g. C:\WINDOWS
4. it is alphabetically sorted between other folders in the Explorer (unlike
links)
5. the only difference is the symbol, it is a folder symbol with a network
line (as you know it from network drive symbols).
6. no network drive letter exists for that mount.

I don't know how I have created this, but I am not able to do it again.

Regards Marcus

PS when I run "net use" I can see it:

Status Lokal Remote Netzwerk
