Not sure I follow you . . in my experiance local drives can already be connected via the Winxp RDP client. Of course you must be allowing the option via user management settings on your domain to do it automatically, but you can also map the drives via login script . . net use c: \\tsclient\c . . etc. From the help files on the Winxp RDP client . . . To make local disk drives available in a session In the Remote Desktop Connection window, click Options. On the Local Resources tab, Under Local devices, click Disk drives. Click Connect. Note To start Remote Desktop Connection, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection. Depending on the policies of your network, local drive mapping might be disabled for some or all remote connections. When you click Connect, the information you enter in Options becomes the default setting for all Remote Desktop connections and is saved in a file called Default.rdp. To create connections with different or connection-specific options, see Save your connection settings to a file.
