hi,
after booting, you need to log in to your network for it to work. i do
it with a simple 2 line login script, a simple batch file to log on
from my laptop to my desktop that has the network drive in it and
another line to set the path in the registry of the laptop i use.
the trick is to use the windows command line command: net.exe
net use
Connects or disconnects to a network share. Used with no qualifiers
lists the current network mappings.
Syntax:
net use <device name> or * \\<computer name>\<share name> [password or
*] [/user:[domain\user] /delete or [persistent:[yes or no]]
net use <device name> /home /delete or /persistent:[yes or no]
more info :

from memory, here's my batch file, you might have to fiddle with it a
little bit for the net.exe command, like i said its from memory, (you
can name it login.bat on your desktop, and change the values for your
info , then launch it manually after you've booted, or in your start
up folder):
------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
net use m: \\mydesktop_computer\myshare mypasswordondesktop
/user:\\mydesktop_computer\user_name
regsvr32 /s storeroot.reg
rem to make sure everything worked: wait for user to press a key.
pause
-------------------------------------------------------
obviously, the "net use" and "/user" lines are only on 1 line not 2.
sorry for carriage return there.
and storeroot.reg is just an extracted with regedit registry value of
your storeroot key located at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{some_numbers_here}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0
that basically points to m:\outlook express instead of c:\docs and
settings\username\blabla
hth, and i hope its easy to understand.
