Hi,

Network shares can't automatically be set to a drive letter assigned by the administrator if it is mounted manually by the user.

The best way to go is a login script which forces the share to be mounted with the drive letter.

The simplest way is to:
Open up Notepad in Windows and paste in the following:

@Echo Off
net use H: \\192.168.1.10\myshare

Replace the \\192.168.1.10\myshare with the path to your Samba share.

Save the file as "samba.bat" in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" for it to apply to all users on that computer. Be sure to use quotation marks in the file name, or your file will end up as "samba.bat.txt".

If it requires authentication you can add a switch:

@Echo Off
net use H: \\192.168.1.10\myshare /USER:myusername mypassword

Replace myusername and mypassword with your Samba username and password.

Note that this stores the password in clear text.

If the users should have separate login scripts you can place the file in the users own Autostart folder. "C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

There is also a guide here, [url]http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch06_06.html[/url], which gives a little more advanced options.

I hope this will help you on your way.

Best regards

Yeah, I forgot about that. KISS, if it is a small environment this is the easiest way.
