I have both windows and Novell boxes in the office and I am getting most off
of the Novell client and just running the windows client for Netware. The
minor problem I have is how to map drives with long names to map netware
drives to a windows XP workstation. I have a few drives that the people with
out the Novell client need to access an dthey have long names with spaces. I
can map all drives but those with long names. Can anyone tell me how I get
around that? Thanks.

You could rename the mappings once they're mapped on a WinXP w/s.
(highlight f:\this is a long dir structure - and rename to something
shorter)

You could run this reg entry to place the drive letters first (then the dir
structure afterwards)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"ShowDriveLettersFirst"=dword:00000004

You could use the MAP ROOT command in the login script. Or you could
teach them to not use such long names. ;)
