Mapping Network Folder To Drive Letter In Microsoft Windows XP


To map a network folder to a drive letter, follow these steps:

1. In Windows Explorer, open the Tools menu and choose Map Network Drive.

2. Select a drive letter in the Drive box. You can choose any letter that’s not already in use.

3. In the Folder box, type the path to the folder you want or, more easily, click Browse and navigate to the folder.

4. Select Reconnect At Logon if you want Windows to connect to this shared folder automatically at the start of each session.

5. If your regular logon account doesn’t have permission to connect to the resource, click the Different User Name link, enter a user name and password, and click OK. (This capability is useful if you personally have multiple user accounts. For example, you might have an administrator account that has access to some folders that are not available to your regular logon account.)

6. Click Finish.
