Network P: Drive

The network P: drive allows drag and drop file access, as well as direct saving of files with Windows applications. If you are logging into the campus network with a Windows NT/2000 machine, your P: drive should appear automatically.

Using Windows 95/98/ME or another operating system besides NT/2000?

If you're using an operating system besides Windows NT/2000, chances are you're P: drive will not be automatically mapped.

To map a drive letter to a network computer or folder in Windows 95/98/ME:

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.
3. In Drive, select the drive letter to map to the shared resource (P: is Recommended).
4. In Folder, type the server and share name of the resource, in the form of \\umesdisted\root\facstaff. Or click Browse to locate the resource.

   Notes

   • To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
   • To reconnect to the mapped drive every time you log on, select the Reconnect at logon check box.
   • Mapped drives are available only when the host computer is also available.
   • You can assign a mapped drive to a different drive letter by disconnecting from the drive and then remapping it to a new drive letter.

Using NT/2000 but don't have a P: drive?

If you are logging into the UMES domain with an NT/2000 machine, but you don't have a P: Drive, contact the webmaster.
