Hi

Try this in a VBScript:

sDrive = "G:\" ' note the trailing backslash!
Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
oShell.NameSpace(sDrive).Self.Name = "Some description here"

Hi

You can use the MapNetworkDrive method:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/script56/html/wsmthmapnetworkdrive.asp

WSH 5.6 documentation (local help file) can be downloaded from here if you
haven't got it already:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/webdev.asp

Alternatively, you can shell out from the vbscript and
run net use as you are used to:

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "net.exe use n: \\142.14.62.3\myshare1", 0, True
oShell.Run "net.exe use m: \\142.14.62.3\myshare2", 0, True

Hi
Use following to map a drive

On Error Resume Next
Dim strRemoteDrive, strMapAs, strUserName, strPassword
strRemoteDrive = "\\server\folder"
strMapAs= "R:"
strUserName = "*****"
strPassword = "*****"
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strMapAs, strRemoteDrive, , strUserName, strPassword
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

Use following to map a drive

On Error Resume Next
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "R:"
Set WshNetwork = Nothing

Try looking at the output of:
NET USE /?

And determine your solution to remove existing drive mappings as well as
passwords.

As for why NET USE asks for a password -- all shares require some sort of
credentials to access. If you provide no credentials to NET USE, it assumes
the credentials running the command -- which may or may not work. It is up
to you to determine the right identity that can complete the NET USE
command.
