How to Assign a Drive Letter To a Network Computer Or Folder

If you are connected to a network, you can assign a drive letter to any computer or folder on that network. This will make it easier for you to go directly to that computer or folder, rather than having to navigate your way there.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Open “My Computer” by double-clicking it from your desktop or Start menu.
2. Click “Tools” on the toolbar, and then click “Map Network Drive."
3. In the “Map Network Drive” dialog box, choose the drive letter you wish to use by selecting it in the drop down menu next to “Drive."
4. In the “Folder” box, type the server and the name of the computer or folder you want this drive letter assigned to. If you do not know the name, click “Browse” and find the computer or folder.
5. When you have mapped the drive, click “Finish."

Tips & Warnings

• To reconnect to this drive every time you log on to your computer, select the check box next to “Reconnect at Logon."
