>I need first determine if a particular drive is already mapped and if it is not then need to connect to that windows share using NET USE. Not sure how this is done as I need to pass a userid and password in the connection. Would I use the RUN command?

Unfortunately, the sys admin will not let me do it the easy way so I am forced to do these tricks.
