Mapped drives

[spaceman]

How do I get my mapped drives to stay mapped after a reboot?

How are they attached to the network? What OS are you running?

 

[spaceman]

The drives are on another pc in the house, running windows 10, I'm running windows 11.

Did you select "reconnect at login"?

How to Map a Network Drive in Windows 11

Map a network drive in Windows 11 to access files from another computer on the network. It makes file storage and sharing as easy as opening a folder.

Reconnect at login should remap the drive on reboot, then when they go offline you'd have to manually remove them.

Reconnected and made sure reconnect at login was checked, rebooted and drives are still inaccessible.

Does the source PC have a static IP address? If you don't have an internal DNS server you'll need to map it by IP address and have a static IP set on the source PC.

I would then use a batch file and set it to run on login.

@echo off
net use G: /delete
net use G: \\192.168.0.1\sharename
exit
