have to map network shares at every boot

elvis2002

Hey lads, on my network shares at home I have to reconnect manually at every boot. I have the option ticked to reconnect at logon but it doesnt seem to care. Anyone have any ideas?

add persistent switch to end of the command mentioned before:

net use ( name of drive u want to use ) \\ computer name \ share name

eg:

net use f: [URL="file://\\PC1\files"]\\PC1\files[/URL][/quote] /persistent:y

this makes mapping always comnnected.

as the guys said, you can use the "net use" command. Failing that, is the username and password used to logon the same as that of the share you are connecting to?
