Open Directory From Mapped Drive

[dreamzboy 1]

Hello,

I have a simple noobie question. I've successfully mapped the network drive; however, I couldn't figure out how to automatically open that directory without having me browse to the directory that I just mapped.

For example, I mapped "\\computer-name\folder" (without a drive letter). The script successfully mapped it, but how do I get that folder to open once it's mapped? If I manually mapped the network drive from my computer, assigned a drive letter, entered my credential, and when I clicked finish, the drive/folder shows up. I wanted to do the same but through a script so I don't have to manually map the drive and enter my credential every time.

Thanks in advance for your help.

rtm

DriveMapAdd()

or search for

RunReadStd()

, and look at "net use"

usual caveats about hiding usernames / passwords in scripts apply.

I've already looked at the DriveMapAdd feature. In fact, that's what I used right now and there's no mapped drive window pop up like the manual mapped drive.

How do you hide usernames/password? I never could figure that out.

Thanks!

Bump...I know someone knows but doesn't want to share.

Why not just ShellExecute() the share...

Local $Result, $Mapping = '\\Server\Share'
$Result = DriveMapAdd('', $Mapping, 'UserName', 'password')
Switch $Result
    Case 1
        MsgBox(32, 'SUCCESS', 'Exit Code: ' & $Result)
        ShellExecute($Mapping, '', $Mapping, 'open')
    Case Else
        MsgBox(32, 'FAILURE', 'Exit Code: ' & $Result)
EndSwitch
