USB drive network sharing
I have multiple USB external drives connected to one computer and shared
to all others on my network. Easy enough, unless the shared drives are not present when the computer boots, because then the sharing is lost. My goal is to be able to turn on the drives individually when needed and automatically restore sharing at the same time. I've made batch files that look like this: net share TV4_Downloads=L:/ pause That works fine when I run the batch file on the host but I need a way to run the batch file automatically when the drive is powered up. I've tried adding the batch file to the autorun folder and adding this to the autorun.inf file: OPEN=AUTORUN\ShareTV4.bat But that didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Or is there an easier way to do this? I've looked at a program called USB Redirector, but the trial version is limited to one drive and the paid version is too expensive. -- Red |
