Thanks Jim,
I would like to try the net use option but i'm kind of new to the writing
the scripts. any help would be appreciated

PC with the file needed to be shared has a name of craigpc2
The shared folder is payroll
the username is agyadmin
the password is admin1202
filename is schedule.xls

the file is located at the following \\craigpc2\payroll

do i indicate delete persistent? I would like it to be always connected so
if a user clicks on the shortcut it will open the file. The limited access
profile name localadmin with no password. These profile names and
passwords
are the same for all computers in the department.

Thanks again for your help!
Craig

I am trying to map a network drive within our small business. All
computers
are using XP Professional. I am able to map the network drive using
auto
connect using the administrator profile, but when I switch to the
profile
with limited rights, the drive shows but is disconnected. I have to
double
click on the drive and enter the administrator username and password to
connect the drive again. Is there a way to get the network drive to auto
connect without clicking on the drive and entering the administrator
password?

I am trying to access (create a shortcut) to a file within a shared
folder
of a computer on the network. I am limited on resources so I can't
obtain a
dedicated server so I was hoping this would work by accessing shared
folders
and setting up shortcuts to files. can't seem to get the shortcuts to
work
because the network drive won't connect without admin rights

Any help would be appreciated!!


Rather than map a network drive manually, perhaps you can create a
batch file which uses the "net use" command to connect the drive.

The username and password are command line parameters.

From "net use /? 2>c:\temp.txt"

The syntax of this command is:


NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]



Jim.
