Question How to map a network drive to a folder instead of a letter

[jamesdsimone]

I found the information before but can't seem to find it again. I want to change some of my network drives from letters to folders in Windows 7. How do I do that? I found a Disk Management method but Disk Management only shows local drives.

Just go to the \\x.x.x.x\folder and then drag it onto your favorites on the left side.

From here: https://superuser.com/questions/244562/how-do-i-mount-a-network-drive-to-a-folder

net use \\\server\"your shared folder"
mklink /d "C:\Users\Admin\"some folder" \\\server\"your shared folder"

You have to run the above commands in a CMD (Command Prompt) window.

Possibly the net use command may be unnecessary.

Browse to the folder, right click-->send to-->desktop
