Answer Wiki:
You can do this by using VBScript in a logonscript; hereafter an example: <pre>Dim CurrPath Dim NewPath Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set WshSystemEnv = WshShell.Environment("SYSTEM") CurrPath = WshSystemEnv("PATH") NewPath = CurrPath & ";c:mydir;" ' set the ";c:mydir;" to your own needs <b>WshSystemEnv(”PATH”) = NewPath</b> </pre>

I can’t seem to grasp what you are trying to do. Do you want to create a mapped drive to a share on the server when the users login?

Alessandro, that script does not actually set the new path.
I think this is missing:

WshSystemEnv(“PATH”) = NewPath

I also think this will cause “;c:mydir;” to be added each time the user logs on (i.e. … ;c:mydir;c:mydir;c:mydir;c:mydir)
How would you deal with this ? maybe some logoff script ?

—————————-

Bluesoft, are you going to put your program executables in that path, so users can run them from there ? , or what you need to do is make your programs save their data to that path ?
