    Shortcut for connecting to a user's share


    I connect to my users computers via \\COMPUTERNAME\c$ all the time.

    However there's one particular computer I connect to multiple times a day, is there a way to create a shortcut or .bat file that will execute that command?

    Thank you.

    Create a batch file that has this in it.

    net use z: \\COMPUTERNAME\c$

    Put a link to the batch file on your Desktop.
