Publish netwok folders to local computer 1

[nvrmaried]

I generally push out drive mappings with login scripts through AD. I am running into the issue of running out of letters for traditional drive mappings.
Is there a way I could just publish folders to the desktop or "My Computer". I would like to control these through Group Policy.
I believe I have seen this before but cannot remember how to do it.
Any help is much appreciated.

If you can use shortcuts to the folders on the users' desktops, create a shortcut to the folder on the server, then add something like this to your logon script, adjusting for OS: copy \\server\folder\folder.lnk "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\desktop\folder.lnk

Windows Haiku:

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Nice Haiku!
Thanks for the info.
What I ended up doing was creating shortcuts to network shares by using Group policy.
User Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Shortcuts
Location of shortcuts were "My Network Places"
This way they are in the same place as the users mapped drives.
