the way to handle this without having to remove the drive designations is to
map that drive on the host as well as the others... in this way /all/ machines
would have the same W: drive... we used to do this in our start up scripts like
this...
@echo off
net use W: \\wrksta1\disk1
net use X: \\wrksta1\disk2
net use Y: \\wrksta2\disk1
net use Z: \\wrksta3\disk1
it was much easier to do this this way than to try to figure out how to map a
locally shared drive on the local sharing system in a GUI...
