Does anyone know the syntax for the net use command under Windows95
to map a drive letter to a server. I want to include the
username and password in the net use command. Under WIndows NT
we use :

net use j: \\server\vol1\user\me\fixes <password> /USER:theusername
/PERSITANT:NO

This works great.

What is the equivalent under 95 ?

In article <3342FB...@gdi.net>, ree...@gdi.net says...
Under 95, the only syntactic change you need to make is to map to the
share and not to the subdirectories. In other words (using your example)

Net Use j: \\server\vol1 password /user:username /persistent:no
followed by
j:
cd \user\me\fixes

This assumes that the share is set to the directory called vol1. If you
set the share at the directory "fixes" then you would map to
\\server\fixes.

The only one problem is what Windows 95 (any of the 950, 950A or 950B)
doesn't allow the user name to be included in the NET USE command. In order
to be able to use the restricted share, you must have your Windows login
name *exactly* the same with the "username" shown in example.

You are right, this is a pain in the keister. I haven't a solution to
this problem. In some ways, Workgroups was easier.
