How to get NT 4.0 to map a drive before users log on

[Anders C. Thorsen]

Just as matthew Geddes, I'm speaking of untested "ideas"

Look at these kb. articles:
	Q103650
	Q149984
which both describes network access which has been opened by a service,
but to be used by users, etc.

Please let me know if it helped.
