Export list of Mapped Drives from Win XP for importing to another XP machine
Hi,
Where can I find the details of all my mapped drives? I have a substantial amount of mapped drives on my old Windows XP install and wish to export them / retrieve them in some way so I can recreate the mappings on my new XP install. My old XP is not running, but I do have the hard drive and I hope to recover the mappings from the old hard drive prior to formatting... TIA, P. |

Export list of Mapped Drives from Win XP for importing to another XP machine
Hi,
Unfortunately as I pointed out in the question, the old Windows that I want to get the info from isn't running so your script dosent work... Any other ideas? Regards, P. |

Missed that note. Perhaps you can try loading the NTUSER.DAT of the user profile in your old XP installation (using the Load Hive option in Regedit.exe)
Then goto the following branch: HKEY_USERS\HIVENAME\Network Each sub-key represents a mapped network drive, and has the Remote Path mentioned in it. For more details, check these links which explains how to load a hive into the registry: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_adv_reg_editing.htm http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...8f251d65b.mspx http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307016 -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Paul" wrote in message oups.com...
