If you are really intent on denying any and all access to an available share, set
both the permissions for the share to exclude or deny a specific user, and deny them
every category of security access.
Step 3: Connect to the Server and
Access Shared Resources
If you went through Projects 3, 4, 12, and 13, you??™ve already done this part??”simply
follow the steps in those projects. There is one feature we did not cover in Project 3:
making a shared drive on another computer or file server appear as just another drive
letter to Windows Explorer and the command prompt. This is called mapping (or associating)
an available drive letter to a storage resource. To map a shared network drive
to a drive letter:
Double-click My Network Places on the Desktop or choose Start|My
Network Places to open an Explorer window, and then, in the left navigation
pane, click View Workgroup Computers to see the computers on your
network.
Double-click the icon for the computer hosting the shared resource you
want to use??”in this case, your server, which we named HOMESERVER for
this project. This will show you the available shared resources, as shown in
Figure 22-4.
