Drive to Be Mapped

This dialog box lets you define a drive you want Novell® Application LauncherTM/Explorer to map before running the application.

Root
Check this option to treat the path as the root of the drive.

Option
Select the type of drive to map. The available types are:

Drive
Assign a drive letter. The options are drives A through Z, or the next available drive.

Path
Enter, or browse and select, the path you want mapped to the selected drive. If you enter the path, use the following syntax:

server\volume:path
\\server\volume\path
volume_object_name:path
directory_map_object_name:path

You can also use a macro in this field.

Map If Drive Mapping Doesn't Exist or Same As Existing (Default)
Select this option if you want Application Launcher/Explorer to map the drive if 1) it doesn't exist already or 2) it is the same as an existing drive mapping.

Overwrite Any Existing Drive Mapping
Select this option to if you want Application Launcher/Explorer to replace any mapping that uses the requested drive letter. For example, if S: is mapped to \\SERVER1\SYS\PUBLIC and you've specified the new S: drive mapping as \\SERVER1\APPS\TIMECARD, the end result is that drive S: is mapped to \\SERVER1\APPS\TIMECARD.

To identify this option in the Drives to Be Mapped list, the word FORCE is added to the mapping information.

Use the Existing Drive Mapping If Already Mapped
Select this option to use the existing drive mapping even if it is not the same as the path requested. For example, if S: is mapped to \\SERVER1\SYS\PUBLIC and you've specified the new S: drive mapping as \\SERVER1\APPS\TIMECARD, the end result is that drive S: is still mapped to \\SERVER1\SYS\PUBLIC.

To identify this option in the Drives to Be Mapped list, the word REUSE is added to the mapping information.
