      MapDrive Module Version 1.2005.01.01


                                [ Info ]                           


->MapDrive is a utility for mapping Network resources or Printers.
->MapDrive Also can map directory from local disk to a virtual drive
  (MapDrive uses DOS command "Subst.exe")

  MapDrive Module was designed to run with very low demand on system
  resources and hardware. It has been tested on a 2.2Ghz  Atlon XP 2400
  running win 2K PRO SP4 and it runs with no problems at all.

  The EXE files are free standing 32 bit portable executable files
  that do not need any runtime DLLs to work correctly. You do not have to
  download other files for MapDrive Module to work properly.

Why do I made this shit:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  I'm actually working as IT manager, and a common call to support is that
  Users dunno how to map a network drive in windows. This programs saves
  my staff of a lot of time!!!

                            [ Installation ]                        


Safe Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Program supplied in this package do NOT write to the operating
system or replace any component of the operating system, but its own INI File
and an optional entry on Windows Registry:
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Install Info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MapDrive is ready to run, just copy the MapDrive.exe file in any directory!.
Enjoy!


                            [ Operation ]                        

Running for the first time:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Executing program for the first time, it will ask to make a copy on the
  windows directory.

Regular Operation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The program is INTENDED to run without SHOWING any windows, but the
  error messages that happens trying to make a map.

Showing SetUp Windows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  To open the Setup Windows, hold down SHIFT key while execute the program.
  Setup Windows will open with argument on the command line.
  Example c:\mapdrive /?

About .ini file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Program will take the executable file's NAME to generate/save setup info.
  Examples: MapDrive.exe saves on MapDrive.ini
            MyUser.exe saves on MyUser.ini

  This allows to make several copys of executable and keep diferents
  configurations


Using Macros:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  MapDrive supports Macros to add flexibility to IT managers. Consult
  Macros' list below if ya want to know what the macros will replace.

  Macros are solved at runtime in Error Messages Windows,
  Credential Windows and in Program to Execute.
  Also in solve in Shareaddress and Username.
