Mapping a Network Drive

Posted Aug 6, 2005 | by David Risley  

Windows has a feature that allows you to map a drive letter to a network location. To do this, go to Start -> My Computer and press Tools -> Map Network Drive. When the Window comes up, choose a drive letter that suits you and then choose the network (UNC) path of the folder that you wish to map that drive letter to. For example, you might choose X: as your drive letter and map it to \\Server\Docs. If a connection to that drive requires authentication, press “Connect using a different user name” and then type in the credentials in the next Window. Press OK, and then press Finish.
