For most of u this would not even be considered as a problem, but i struggeled all weekend long. This is what i want to do. I have a Netware 5 server and a few workstations running win98. i want all the users to login and as that happens, i want them to have drive mappings to their home directories, so i have put "map z:=%HOME_DIREECTORY. The home directory map to their my computer, ok great but i want the my documents to be mapped to their home directories. So if they save something in their my documents, it should save in their home directories. Please help.

thx
 
That's a function of Windows.. Doesn't really matter what network you're running. You have to redirect the MY DOCs to point to the home directory.

If you have the My Documents folder showing on the desktop, you can right click on it, select properties, and change the location where my documents looks for files. And Marvin is right, it's a Windows function - you'll need to point my documents to the %home_directory in order for it to work.
