Cazzjh Cazzjh Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-04 Posts: 32 Loc: Glasgow, Scotland	Hi Trying to use kix with windows 2000 professional pc. Trying to map directly to the user drive using the following code : code: IF (@INWIN=1 And @DOS="5.0") SHELL "NET USE U: \\gfclnt03\users" CD U:\Users\%username% ENDIF The only problem is that it wont go straight to the users named folder - it goe's one level above to the users drive. Any idea's??? [ 25 July 2002, 14:49: Message edited by: Cazzjh ] _________________________ Cazzjh

You can then: cd u:\%username% Hope this helps... [ 25 July 2002, 14:55: Message edited by: Ghost ] _________________________ Who are you? Who slips into my robot body and whispers to my ghost?

Cazzjh Cazzjh Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-04 Posts: 32 Loc: Glasgow, Scotland	Hi I have to go one level deeper than this to the users named directory i.e. \\gfclnt03\users\cazzjh. This is so the users only see their data and not everyones. _________________________ Cazzjh

Once shared you can then map the drive use u: \\server\username$ Hope this helps... _________________________ Who are you? Who slips into my robot body and whispers to my ghost?

Cazzjh Cazzjh Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-06-04 Posts: 32 Loc: Glasgow, Scotland	Tried both solutions - none work - still will only go to the root directory and not the users personal folders - Am I missing something or should this work?? _________________________ Cazzjh

Use $DRV "\\Server\Share\@UserID" _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.
