To Map a Network Drive Using a UNC Name on Windows NT

On Windows NT, you can specify the full path to a network resource in UNC format. If you have not connected to this resource before, the Solstice network creates and stores an alias for it as it makes the connection. You do not need to browse the network before using a UNC name.

1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click Windows NT Explorer.

2. From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.

   The Map Network Drive dialog box opens.

3. In the Path text entry box, type the tilde (~) character followed by the alias. For example:

   \\~spooky\house
