Hi,

Yep, Joseph's answer is a good one. You may also be interested in all the DOS commands you can use when writing scripts.

Take a look at the following...

And at some point you'll be interested in security for this. Here's an article on the security implications of letting your users create shares for themselves.

Hi,

I see you rejected our answers.

Much of the information in Joseph's link was applicable to Win98 as well... For instance Win98 has a "net" command.

I'm still confused as to what you want because what you've created isnt a script at all.Its simply a shortcut to a file. Its on a different server, hence the \\server\share bit, but its still just a shortcut.

What we gave you was information on how to script using network commands - and in my case expanded on that to all sorts of situations you may encounter.

Let us know what you want from this a bit more, and we'll try to help you. For instance, do you have something you'd like to be able to do but cant?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is nothing more to expand on, on what you've done - apart from the security aspects.

Cheers,
Tim.
