How to map network drives for all users in Windows 7

I am trying to map network drives in Windows 7.  I did it by usual method, but those network drives only appear for one user (administrator) and they do not appear for other users.  Is there any way to map those drives as admin so that all users can see them (instead of each user maps by himself)?

Thanks for your help!

It'd be once per user.  From that point forward, it would automatically connect every time the user logs into Windows, as long as the network location is accessible.  If the server or remote computer was off, it'd prompt the user during login to let them know that a drive could not be connected.

Hi May 1,

There is no option to map the network drive for all users at one go.

However you can access the mapped network drive from other user accounts using credentials.

To access the mapped network drive.

1.      Click Start and click on Computer.

2.      Click on Map Network Drive.

3.      Now put a check mark in Connect using different credentials.

4.      Click Finish.



Thanks and Regards:
