Hi,
1st thanks very much for your time. My question is how do I automatically link to a network drive at XP startup? My scenario is this - on my hardwired machine, not a problem to do, but on the wireless machines, does not automatically link, must double-click the link via Windows Explorer. After I double-click, everything works fine. The reason I want it to automatically link is to do a backup of critical files at system startup.
Thanks again,
David
 
You need to put a link to the network drive in the boot.ini file. access through My computer, r click, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings, edit.
Save old file first.
