Map to a network drive

[Go_Big_Blue]

Hi, this the first time I have posted to this group. I am trying to
create an easy method for end users to map to a network drive. Our
current web-page development program is Frontpage. Is there an easy way
in Frontpage to accomplish this or do I need to have some script.
Currently, I have a link for each mapped drive so the user can open the
mapped drive and then I give them the instructions on how to map to
this drive, using the convential method of Tools--Map network
drive--select drive letter--enter server name--enter directory. I am
hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this. Thanks for your
help.....

The best thing to do would be to have a logon script that
maps the network drive.

Can you point me in the right direction? How do I go about creating
that script? Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Usually you would have this done on the server, as part of
the login script. You could create a simple script file to
do the same thing and put it as a hyperlink on your webpage.
A sample script for that it available her:
