Dear All,

Does anyone have an answer to the following question?

Is it possible to automate access to a remote directory on another machine which requires a network username and password?

On the internet you can merge the two together with:-
user:password@
But is there anything similar in Windows ?

The path to the remote computer directory is :-
\\remote\thefolder

but I also need a username and a password to access it. I know that after I have entered the username and password once the computer will remember it until I switch off the computer.


Thank for any help that you can offer
Ziggurat

You could try using something like this:

net use g: \\remote\thefolder PASSWORD /user:"DOMAIN\USERNAME"
