Creating a Batch file to map F & G Drives

On the workstation, create a batch file C:\MapDrives.bat

Edit the file so it reads as:

NET USE G: \\%computername%\Public
NET USE F: \\%computername%\Whole


If you are accessing a specific server, change the %computername% for the name of the computer that hosts the data.


Create a shortcut to C:\MapDrives.bat and cut and paste it into the Start-up folder for All Users.  Run the batch file and ensure the correct drives are mapped in explorer.
