Some Mapped NetWare Drives Incorrect in Windows Explorer

 * }

Q137731

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you use the MAP command in a login script to map a network drive to a directory on a NetWare server, the drive you have mapped may appear in Windows Explorer and My Computer as the root of the volume instead of the current directory. For example, a drive mapped as

"MAP SYS: \" may appear as:

"\\ \SYS"

CAUSE
Windows Explorer displays the root of the mapped drive rather than the current directory (as in earlier versions of Windows). This behavior is by design.

RESOLUTION
To see the current directory of mapped drives, use either of the following methods:


 * Use Novell NetWare's MAP command at a command prompt.
 * Use File Manager (Winfile.exe) from an earlier version of Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
Note that the issues described in this article do not change the functionality of NetWare utilities, batch files based on the current directory, or the MAP command itself. These issues affect only the way that Windows Explorer, or other Windows 95 tools that use Windows Explorer, displays the drive mappings.
