Net use m: \\client\c$\clientdir <file:///\\client\c$\clientdir> doesn't
work for you?

Hi,
I've got a W2k3 SP2 server and I want to create a subst mapping to a client
drive
So - net use M: <file:///\\client\c$> \\client\c$
All, fine and dandy
Now I want to subst a drive to a directory on c:
Subst N: m:\clientdir
Hurrah - N: is subst'd
*But* in explorer it appears as
I can manually rename the drive - which is fine for the session - but as the
subst isn't persistent it gets lost each time.
I've looked at manipulating the MountPoints2 reg key - but it's a different
key everytime, and only appears as a key once you do a rename.
I've looked at using shell.application.namespace method, but it only appears
to work for network drives.
L
Any ideas how to rename the drive so that instead of being 'disconnected' it
comes up as "user friendly drive name"?
Tia.
