They say that drives mapped by a service running under the "Local System" account will be visible to all logon sessions. What WinXP is there, Home or Pro?

First, you need a script that will create the mapped drive. Disable the "hide extension for known file types" setting in Folder Options. Create a new text file and rename its extension to BAT or CMD. Script commands to create a mapped drive are like: net use \\computer\share password /USER:username /PERSISTENT:NO password and username are optional, you can type "net use /?" in a command prompt for more information. Save the file. Run it and modify as needed until it works. Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc will open the Group Policy Editor. Go to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts, double click on Startup. Add the script file with no parameters. Normally these scripts are located in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup", better copy the file there before adding it. These scripts are running under LocalSystem account, it should work but I can't be sure... On Monday, March 28, 2005 at 4:19 pm, Marylin wrote: >We are using XP Pro. Some have SP1 and some haev SP2.
