Additionally, for Windows NT you'd need to SHELL out and use SUBST. Oh, and search the BBS for either 'YAMD' or 'map root'. [ 16.

Doubly so if you have Roaming users... I share my users out and use the following. code: IF (Exist("h:\NUL") = 1) USE h: /delete ENDIF $nul=DelKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\Persistent\H") USE h: \\[server name\+@userid+"$" Hope this helps Steve. _________________________ Dont worry because a rival imitates you.

hm41910 hm41910 Lurker Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 4	I tried these lines and all the other examples. But it only maps the user to \\SERVER\PRIVATE and not the user. Use I: "\\SERVER\PRIVATE" shell "subst k: i:\@USERID" yes, kxrpc service is running in my windows 2000 server domain controller....

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I don't think you understand the hidden shares thing. Each user's folder needs to be shared out individually. So, the folder \users\user1 would be shared as User1$. Then you would map it as: Use H: "\\server\User1$$" or Use H: "\\server\@UserID$$" or Use H: "\\server\"+@UserID+Chr(36) [ 16.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Windows 9x cannot map like this '\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER' but only '\\SERVER\SHARE'. Windows NT can map '\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER' if mapped using the SUBST command (needs to be shalled out) Windows 2000/XP can map '\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER' If you still don't understand this, then please read the KiXtart Manual Appendix A or search the UDF forum for the 'YAMD' UDF. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
