  4. To search for the computer or folder, click Browse.
  5. If it is necessary to change the user name in order to map the selected drive, do the following:
    • Click the link at Connect using a different name. The Connect As... dialog box appears.
    •  Enter the domain name and the user name that has permission to connect to the selected computer or folder.
    • Enter the password for the user named above.

  2. To reconnect to the mapped drive every time you log on, select the Reconnect at logon check box.

Note: Mapped drives are available only when the host computer is available. Network drives are assigned letters from Z to A, and local drives (your hard drive and removable storage devices) are assigned letters from A to Z. You can assign a computer or shared folder to a different drive letter by disconnecting from the drive and then reassigning it to a new drive letter.
