Make a batch file containing one or more MAP commands, each establishing one of the desired drive mappings.

Right-click the Start button, then double-click Programs, then double-click StartUp.

From the File menu, choose New, then choose Shortcut.

The Create Shortcut wizard appears. On the first page, enter the name of your batch file, including the complete path (for example, C:\STUFF\DOMAP.BAT). Then click Next.

On the next two pages of the Create Shortcut wizard, you can select a name and icon for your batch file. It doesn't matter what you select.

After exiting from the Create Shortcut wizard, right-click on the new shortcut you just created, and choose Properties.

Click the Program tab at the top of the properties page. Then, make sure that the "Close on exit" box is checked. Finally, click OK to exit from the properties page.
