Open UNC path \\ServerName\ShareName through vbscript

[0LaoyanG0]

This sounds simple enough right?
OK, here's what I want to do. I am logged in as the local Administrator and I want to open an explorer window using a UNC path. This would be just like if you went to Start|Run and typed in a UNC path to a share. If you did this logged on as local Admin, you would get prompted with credentials, type it in and away you go.
Now, through a script I want to basically do the same thing but when I do it nothing opens because local admin does not have "rights" to the resource/share and it doesn't even prompt for credentials. How can I do this all via a vbscript? Prompting for credentials is not an issue.

Via script you may connect a shared directory to a mapped drive giving the credentials.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Perhaps we're interpreting the question wrong. Did you want a script to open Explorer on the share?
