Batch file referenced in boot.ini

You could activate a batchfile by referencing it in boot.ini could you not? I'd like to map a drive consistantly and placing the file in the startup directory does not always work. Thanks for any replys.

no that definitely will not work. and what's wrong with right clicking my computer and mapping a drive - ticking the box to re-connect at logon. always works for me.

Yup, was being stupid. Gonna try running it via GP. Also need to get remote desktop assistance running consistantly and will try this method. Thanks for your input!

Open regedit, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Windows\Run

Create a new string value (call it something useful, like "drive mapping")

Add

Code:

net use <drive_letter>: \\<server_name>\<share_name>

You say your going to try it via GP, are you on some kind of domain?

If so why not use a proper login script?

Agree with that.
Just set up the home share mapping in user account.
