web link to a mapped drive

[RabbieBurns]

Is this even possible? I dont think it is but Ill ask anyway.

 

Been asked to put a link on a page of our webserver, which will open up a windows explorer window to a particular mapped drive.

 

eg, they click on it and drive X: appears from My Computer

IIRC, set up a windows share on the drive you want to open (X:) and then use a link, thus:

Yes, it will.

Another option could be to link it to a batch file and have your net use command in there.

Yes, that's the one! Memory going with this old age

The drive gets mapped at logon. There is a shortcut to the drive on their desktop. But now Ive been told there should be a link to the drive on the homepage now too. Ah well. Sorted now. Thanks
