Checkliste: How to Automatically Map a Drive to SharePoint Foundation 2010

Use this to automatically map a SharePoint folder to a drive on your computer.

Create a batch file in your Startup folder with the mapping specs
Create the batch file with NotePad
Steps to open Notepad
- Go to Start (Windows)
- type "Notepad" + enter in your start textline
- in the empty notepad, write @echo off in the first line (this makes that people don't see your password everytime this batch gets run when you start your computer)
- Open Notepad
Open your Startup folder
Here's how you do it
- Go to your Windows Start Menu
- Look at the folders in your start menu, go to the one called Startup
- Right click on it, in the menu, select open
Save batch file to your startup folder, call it MapSharePoint.bat
Steps
- In Notepad, go to File > Save As
- Go to the start-up folder (you can see where it is based on the open startup folder)
- Give it the name MapSharePoint.bat (or whatever you want)
Write command to map the drive
The Syntax is as follows
Net use [drive]: "http://[Server]/[Path]" /USER:[username] [password]

For example this could look like this:
- Net Use W: "http://www.sphosting.ch/documents" /User:Marc secret123
- Net Use M: "http;//www.sphosting.ch/Media" /User:sphosting\Frank topsecret
Power feature - optionally map multiple drives
Just so you know, you can map multiple drives. your batch file could then look like this:

@echo off
net use w: ...
net use m: ...
Net use z: ...
