    net use at the command prompt. There is an opertunity to make it persistant, do a [b]net use /?[b] to get all of the details. This can also be entered into a login script or batch file...

    What file, or how should I create a batch file? I always have problems dealing with batch files for start up, could you teach me?

    It would be
    net use lpt1 \\server\sharedprinter /persistent:no

    or you could change the persistent:yes

    A good login startup script to put this in (for a stand alone PC that is not on a domain) would be the config.nt file, but I am not an avid user of that file.

    What you can do is create a batch file called capture.bat , then put the command above, then put either the file, or a shortcut in startup folder…

    Just some ideas…
