The second maps drive Z: to the C: share. To UNMAP, use this syntax, just as in CMD.EXE. net use Z: /delete =========Keith -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
