Mapping Network Drives
Using Windows Explorer I can see under "Network" one of my USB drives. I can log in and see the various partitions. What I would like to do is map the Network connection to a drive letter. Is this possible? Example: Z:\Network\USB_Drive. Ultimately I would see the various partitions under the Z drive.
Regards,
John

Click Start > Computer.
Click 'Map Network Drive' on the toolbar.
Select a free drive letter from the Drive dropdown.
Click Browse... to the right of the Folder box.
Select the USB drive, then click OK.
Make sure that 'Reconnect at logon' is ticked.
Click Finish.

Hans,
When I Click Browse.. the OK button is greyed out if I select the USB drive. If I select one of the partitions for the USB drive the OK button is no longer greyed out.

Re: Mapping Network Drives
Then you'll have to create a drive letter for each partition separately; it is not possible to map the drive itself.
