Yes, it's possible to map and unmap a drive on network location from the command prompt. Using the
PUSHD command creates a temporary mapping to a network drive. Quickly disconnect this drive by using the
POPD command. For example:
PUSHD \\woodstock2\general
PUSHD maps the above path to a shared drive (starting from
Z:) and the command will change to that mapped drive for you to work. To unmap, simply use the
POPD command
If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible.
