hey, by all means, fill in the blanks if you feel the conviction to do so. just browsing the code, i don't see it being able to map a network drive if its not connected. always found that a fun property of windows shortcuts. first time i encountered it, i was trying to troubleshoot why someone's login script wasnt mapping drives. she tells me that all she has to do is dblclcik the shortcut to a file on the drive that she created on her desktop, and then her F: drive appears after. i was like... cool. so taking the easy way out, i made a blank batch file, put it on the network drive, made a shortcut to it, and put it in startup.
