If leery about sharing drives, you can use the SUBST command instead:
SUBST P: C:\MyPublicFolder
Note that it will need to be redone at each login; it can't be made
permanent in the same way as mapping.
Actually, with WinXP and Win2K, you already have a share; you can
map to the folder like this:
\\(mycomputername)\C$\MyPublicFolder
You'd use "C$" for C: and "D$" for D:, and so forth.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
