Quick Windows tip: rather than mapping a local network drive, try subst,
which is faster (operates directly at the filesystem level - no SMB
generation and parsing, no transfers through the loopback interface),
cleaner, and safer (no unnecessarily-shared directory). You can make
the subst command an autorun entry in the Registry so it takes effect
every time you reboot.
More info please! subst??
Can provide a more detailed step by step method for this - it may help
others, like myself, who are not that "computer jargon" literate.
Cheers
