I've just discovered that my normal H: drive folders were mapped to a D: drive which to my knowledge is accessible to all users, unlike my H: drive where all my private work is.

I've been having some strange and serious problems with Access 97 on a Novell client for Win NT 4.0. Others have had serious problems, too. One high level manager has entertained the possibility that it could be intentional sabotage.

I have no idea who linked my account to this D: drive, but I do believe it rendered all of my private work accessible to 'outsiders.' I disconnected the link, but, not being a network professional, and knowing only a little about it, I would appreciate if some of you experts would tell me how to avoid such a thing in the future. For instance, is there an option somewhere in Windows Explorer that will immediately tell me all the drives to which my H: drive has been mapped--in case there's some other invisible links? Also, could this D: drive or other drives be linked again to my H: drive, then rendered 'Hidden,' so that I won't even be able to discover it? Or will it always have to be visible in Windows Explorer if it is mapped to me? Is there a piece of software that will give me the info about all of these mappings or links, such as maybe this: Nwadmnnt.exe??

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how to quickly discover all visible and invisible links or mappings to my private H: drive account. Thanks a lot.
