Hello again list! I'm attempting to use the following command in a startup batch file: net use U: \\mail\%U however when win9* runs this file on logging in, it tries to map \\mail\u Why isn't samba preprocessing this directive? (\\mail is NOT the name of the samba server doing the login authetication!) Please respond to mblinn@peopleplaces.org -- my mail client may be configured screwy with its reply-to address. Thanks!

Hi Michael,
Try: net use U: \\mail\%U%
Windows (DOS) likes a "%" on both sides of the variable
(I know, it's weird, but that how it works). Make sure you have
something assigned to %U%
