I don't even know how to make a mapped drive :-) At its simplest, at the command line type: NET USE [device letter, e.g. F:] [\\computername\sharename] To release the mapped drive, something like: NET USE F: /DELETE Type NET HELP USE at the command line to see all options. Or, in Windows Explorer, look under Tools ...

Andy An external card reader - often have slots for SD cards and several other card shapes, and often appear as several (often four) drive letters in a row; if you click on them and there's no card in them, something like "please insert a disc into drive ..." pops up, rather as it did with floppies and does with CDs/DVDs when there's no disc in. (I think you _can_ make them only appear when there's a card in, but it's easier to do that in 7.) Such readers (even internal ones) usually connect via USB. -- J. P. Gilliver.
