Mapped Network drive (connect to it)
-
Hi all hope u can help me . . I have a simple program that copies files over a wireless network from one comp to a laptop. The program is made to start up as soon as windows xp is loaded up. The hard drive the program is trying to access is a mapped network drive. However because im on a wireless network windows does not make a connection (from what I can see) till about 30 seconds after windows has fully booted up and by this time the attempt to connect my map network drives has gone so windows now thinks the comp with the mapped network drive is now off line. This means that when my program tries to access that hard drive it fails. Of course all I have to do is double click on that hard drive and then windows will connect to it and my program will work. However I was wondering if there is a way I can program it to connect the mapped network drive so I don’t’ have to do it every time I start up windows. Hope iv made a little bit of sense and thanks for any help any one can give me Scott

that won't work because the windows never tries to connect to it again (it seems) so the only way to connect to it again is for me to manualy click on the drive
