The "Distant" column is the UNC name of the X: notation, but on my computer this X: letter is in fact IBRAHIMA(X:) named. You can do it by mapping a network driver on your desktop, then do a right click to rename it, so you can give the name you want. For example the X: becomes IBRAHIMA(X:). What i need again is not the X: string or the UNC form but IBRAHIMA. and this information is not displayed with the NET USE command you can trust me for having done it.
I am at a disadvantage here because I do not run XP. Is there anything you can type at the command line to see the drive name info you want? 'LABEL' perhaps? If not, I do not know of any way to get what you are looking for.
LABEL and VOL give the name of the volume (ie of the partition), but not the drive name. Thanks much however for having tryed to help me.
JM
