Mapped drives management

[skiflyer]

I was just wondering, is there a place in XP to manage my mapped network drives?

Recently I made some changes that requires me to change passwords and usernames on some of my mapped drives... and it occurred to me that perhaps there's a way to find the properties of the mapping and just adjust them rather than disconnecting and remapping with the corrected info... but I can't find any such thing, anyone know of that kind of thing?

Did you supply all of the parameters including /savecred, at the time of the original mapping?

/user : Specifies a different user name with which the connection is made.

Password : Specifies the password needed to access the shared resource. Type an asterisk (*) to produce a prompt for the password. The password is not displayed when you type it at the password prompt.

DomainName : Specifies another domain. If you omit DomainName, net use uses the current logged on domain.

UserName : Specifies the user name with which to log on.

DottedDomainName : Specifies the fully-qualified domain name for the domain where the user account exists.

/savecred : Stores the provided credentials for reuse.

If not, the specification is likely coming from your logon script.

In any case what can be exposed in the GUI is accessible by doing a Start, Run, control userpasswords2
Click the "Advanced" tab, and click "Manage Passwords".

Oh it works fine, things have just changed and I was looking for an easier way to update the changes than a complete remap.

Thanks for the control userpasswords2 bit, I think that's what I need.

I was not curious if it worked, I was curious if you used the switch: /savecred : Stores the provided credentials for reuse.

No, I had done it graphically the first time and used the "login using a different username and password

Same difference.
