>>Mastering Computers, in their Windows Tips & Secrets Newsletter (Sep 1998, Vol 8, No. 2), published a short article entitled 'Easier Mapping to the Home Share.'

Won't work. You can only map to the point of the share, i.e., to 'users'. You can't drill down the mapping to users\%username%. That's the problem. Thanks, CH.
