| | Startup Subst both normal and administrator I have mapped a drive on my main Vista machine for all my documents etc. N:. With XP it was also possible to map to the local machine to make sure that N: on all machines was the same. But with Vista "net use" does not work locally so I have to use "subst". Trouble is that if I want to subst the drive to both normal and administrator users, then I have to subst twice. But how can I subst from the startup folder? (And then for both levels.) Martin |

Make certain the Server service is running, and that file sharing is enabled in Network settings. You may also need to tweak firewall settings. To use SUBST, you could create a simple text file containting the command with a .CMD or .BAT extension, and put it under: \Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Program\Startup To be safe, try making it look like this: SUBST N: /D SUBST N: c:\whatever\whatever -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!
