Hi Mike,

Thanks for the help. So, I have to map a drive letter?
The shares on this PC have to be available to the users
on my network at all times, so I guess I'll put the "net
use" statement in their startup scripts? I'm not
concerned about security inside my office. I'm just
trying to avoid giving full control to the "Everyone"
group so I don't get worms. You said there are other
ways of doing the same thing? If you could give me a
quick rundown of what a few of them are and if any of
them may be better than mapping a drive letter, I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Paul
