This article was previously published under Q137731 SYMPTOMS
When you use the MAP command in a login script to map a network drive to
a directory on a NetWare server, the drive you have mapped may appear in
Windows Explorer and My Computer as the root of the volume instead of the
current directory. For example, a drive mapped as
MAP SYS:<directory>\<subdirectory>
may appear as:
CAUSE
Windows Explorer displays the root of the mapped drive rather than the
current directory (as in earlier versions of Windows). This behavior is
by design.
RESOLUTION
To see the current directory of mapped drives, use either of the following
methods:
- Use Novell NetWare's MAP command at a command prompt.
- Use File Manager (Winfile.exe) from an earlier version of Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
Note that the issues described in this article do not change the
functionality of NetWare utilities, batch files based on the current
directory, or the MAP command itself. These issues affect only the way
that Windows Explorer, or other Windows 95 tools that use Windows
Explorer, displays the drive mappings.
