Adding a network location via a command prompt?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to add a Network Location via the command prompt? This is not a drive letter mapping mind which can be achieved using the net use command.

Solution

Here is a script how to achieve this:How Can I Create a Shortcut in My Network Places?

To use them:

• Copy the code into a Notepad file
• Click File menu & choose SaveAs
• Surround the file name in double quotes including the extension (") Example "Network Place Scrript.vbs"
• In the File Types choose All Files
• Click the Save button

do you mean a connection to a unc path? you could use pushd if you don't want to use net use. pushd \\server\share or if you need to authenticate against the share and don't want to use a drive letter: net use \\server\share <pass> /user:<user> && pushd \\server\share

Superb, thanks for that! I had actually come across that article but neglected to circle back to this question. Fair dues to you for doing so.
