hello and thanks for reading this...
i am trying to map a drive to a netshare before the windows login occurs.
not sure how to do it.
i need to have a drive d: connected to a netshare before a user logs in.

i know it is possible to redirect user folders using group policy but do
not know and the netshare is not on a windows server

i am sure there is more then one way to do this but i cannot figure out how.

any help would be great.

thanks,
dave

If you do not want to use Group Policy, you can use autoexnt:
