I am trying to make the following drive letter map to this particular folder:<br><br>; Mapping for Membership Program<br>MAP Q:=NOVELL1\VOL1:MEMBERSHIP<br>;<br><br>I double-checked my login script (at root level for all users) everthing looks fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, from each Win95 PC, the 'My Computer' shows:<br><br>VOL1 on 'NOVELL1' (Q)<br><br>No mapping to the folder at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do have one PC running Win2K Pro - and the mapping works perfect.&nbsp;&nbsp;It shows:<br><br>MEMBERSHIP on 'NOVELL1\VOL1' (Q)<br><br>The PCs are running 3.2 clients - WIN95 (b&c versions).&nbsp;&nbsp;Please tell me what in the world am I doing wrong.<br><br>Thanks in advance.
 
It looks like it should work to me, maybe try one of these to see if you get different results:<br><br>MAP Q:=NOVELL1\VOL1:\MEMBERSHIP, or<br><br>MAP ROOT Q:=NOVELL1\VOL1:\MEMBERSHIP, or maybe<br><br>MAP ROOT Q:=NOVELL1\VOL1:MEMBERSHIP
 
Visitor -<br><br>Thanks for the reply.&nbsp;&nbsp;The &quot;Map Root&quot; examples worked out fine.<br><br>Is it true then that you can't not map to a particular folder without using the 'Root' option?<br><br>
 
I'm not sure if it's a documented &quot;bug/feature&quot; or not, I've just been in the habit of using map root whenever I can - just seems like a 'cleaner' way to do it (IMHO).
