Thanks for the quick answer. Next qusetion is how do I remove the $ in the
share name. I use the Change Drive Letter utility to assign a common drive
but the $ is embedded in the process. How do I get rid of it. On that same
subject, when I go to properties and select the Sharing tab, why does it
refer to "Share this folder" and not drive. Very illogical
