Does anyone out there know how to get Windows NT or Adv. Server to
connect to more than 26 drives? We have a server where I work. It has 3
local drives, and I want to connect to more drives than I have letters for.
It will let me go through the routine to connect to a drive, but then it
just ignores it.

Thanks,

Under DOS, the next letter after Z: was [: - yes [:

But why do you want to connect to more than 26 drives? Probably a
silly question, I know but remember that you can always use UNC names
and thereby avoid doing a NET USE.
