Map Network Drive, Windows XP

Pick My Computer from the Start menu.

If you already have Windows Explorer open you can use that.

Note that the Windows Explore is NOT the Internet Explorer.

Pick Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.

Pick a drive letter from the Map Network Drive dialog (use drop-down list or type the letter).

It doesn't matter what letter you use.  "U" is suggested since that is what is used in the labs.

Enter \\udrive.win.psu.edu\users for the folder; if you have done this before, you can pick it from the drop-down list.

Notes:

• You may map just your own folder by entering the path like \\udrive.win.psu.edu\users\x\y\xyz123; that is useful if you do not need to find anyone else's folder.
• You may map one letter to \\udrive\users and another to your own folder if you wish.
• Note that you must use "back-slashes" (\), not "forward-slashes" (/), which don't work.

If you check this option, the drive will be mapped automatically next time you log on.

Click on "Connect using a different user name."

If you were already logged into the WIN domain, you wouldn't have to do this.  Maybe someday.

Enter dce.psu.edu\xyz123 next to "User name:" (where "xyz123" is YOUR Access Account userid).

If you've done this before, you might be able to pick the user name from the drop-down list.

Enter your Access Account password.

9. Press OK, then Finish.

A window will open with all the "root" folders; you can navigate down to yours by clicking on each folder or by entering U:\x\y\xyz123 in the address field of the folder window.
