Is there any way that anyone knows of that I can map a drive to a share the local computer? I want to fool a networked application to use a drive letter that it needs so that it will work when the laptop is away from the network.

If you map a drive to the local share from the local machien when a network cable is in, it is fine, but the share stops working as soon as the cable is disconnected.

Please help!!
 
Use the subst command (from a coomand prompt - subst /? for parameters)
