   the way to handle this without having to remove the drive designations is to   
   map that drive on the host as well as the others... in this way /all/ machines   
   would have the same W: drive... we used to do this in our start up scripts   
   like this...   
      
   @echo off   
   net use W: \\wrksta1\disk1   
   net use X: \\wrksta1\disk2   
   net use Y: \\wrksta2\disk1   
   net use Z: \\wrksta3\disk1   
      
      
   it was much easier to do this this way than to try to figure out how to map a   
   locally shared drive on the local sharing system in a GUI...
