Create a \\Server\Documents\My... folder on a nonnetworked PC

[JMal]

Hi.

I have an OLD database with 1000's of Pictures locations stored in different tables.
I have copied all the images to my PC's C Drive.

Instead of having to change the directory for all the
pictures

Form: "\\Server\documents\Old Pictures"

To: "C:\Old Pictures"


My PC is not linked to the origional network.

Can anyone please explain to me how I can create a folder with the "\\Server\documents..." directory in Windows XP.

thanks

Are you not physically connected to the network, or are you just not a member of the domain?


One way to do it would be to share a folder on the servers drive (lets say it's a folder called PICTURES on the D drive or something), and then you'll need to give that folder modify rights to the "Everyone" group. That'll make it so anyone that can get to that server can do what they want to that folder. This would allow your non-domain PC to do what you want.

Another way:
If you are (or can be) pysically connected, you can add a local user account to the server, then use that as login credentials to a shared folder on the server.

Say you want to share a folder called "Pictures" on the D drive of the server. You'd have to make sure the local 'USER1' has full access to that folder. USER1 would be the local user you create.

Then you'd go to your PC and log into that folder using the credentials of USER1.

If you're not physically connected there's no way to do it.
