Re: Drive Mappings

You do not want to do this.  Really really really.
Drive mappings are not the responsibility of OpenAFS.  Drive mappings 
are the responsibility of the Windows Explorer.  I have every intention
of ripping out the drive mapping code from the AFS SysTray Tool when
the new user interface is completed.  The responsibility of OpenAFS is
to provide you with a UNC path to which you can map a drive letter if
desired.  For you this would be

	\\AFS\cellname\usr\%username%

To set a drive letter to point to this UNC path, you modify the user's 
profile.  Either map a drive as part of the profile or assign a login 
script which performs the mappings you desire using the "NET USE" command.
