I've used command lines to map shares on 98 before. Can you not create
hidden shares and then connect to \\servername\share$ and connect to them
from a 98 box? I don't have any here or I'd try it.

To answer a few questions, my clients are Windows 98 machines, so sharing
out the directory via \\servername\sharename\%USERNAME% is not available.
Wish I could, that would have been done long before. As far as sharing each
directory, I would have also done that, but with the extra admin work needed
to create hundreds of accounts per year, plus with the staff doing the
adding not being that knowledgable on NT Server, I wanted to make it as
simple as can be.
Thanks,
Terry Caleb
