I am running NT 4.0 SP6 workstation connected to an NT 4.0 SP6 server. I have placed several shortcuts on my desktop to locations on my server. After starting the PC and logging in I find that some to all of the shortcuts on my desktop to locations on the network change their drive letter (i.e. M:\ becomes E:\) and an E: drive appears in explorer mapped to the same place as my M: drive. I am the only user on this PC and it only occurs on shortcuts to network locations. The apps do work but this is an annoying situation. Can any one help?

Hi, Here are two other ways to achieve what you want without the changing drive letters: 1) Try to create your shortcuts using UNC paths. Most newer applications can use these and do not require a drive letter to be mapped. A typical UNC path looks like this: \\SERVERNAME\share\file If you use these in your shortcuts, no drive letter mapping is necessary; 2) If you require a drive to be mapped, you can create a loginscript that maps the drive on each login. If you are not logging into a domain, the login script should be located at: \winnt\system32\repl\import\scripts If you are logging into a domain, the login script should be located on the domain server (and all backup domain controllers) in that same directory. Lastly, you need to edit the user account under user manager to require that loginscript. A loginscript is a .bat file such as this: rem This is my loginscript net use e: \\server\share net use m: \\anotherserver\share Hope this helps! Kevin
