Assign A Drive Letter To A Network Computer Or Folder

1. Open My Computer. 
2. On the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive. 
3. In Drive, select a drive letter. 
4. In Folder, type the server and share name of the computer or folder you want.

Click Browse to find the computer or folder.

Side Notes:
- To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
- To reconnect to the mapped drive every time you log on, select the Reconnect at logon check box.
Mapped drives are available only when the host computer is available.
- Network drives are assigned letters from Z to A, and local drives (your hard drive and removable storage devices) are assigned letters from A to Z.
- You can assign a computer or shared folder to a different drive letter by disconnecting from the drive and then reassigning it to a new drive letter.
