There are two methods for mapping the Q: drive via the AFS Client. Mapping for the current user works well when a single person will be using the computer. Mapping for all users is useful for Windows 2000/XP computers and for a computer that has multiple users.

This method uses the AFS Client Configuration control panel to create a drive mapping only for the profile that is currently logged in. The mapping is done by the AFS Client service.

Since Windows NT/2000/XP keeps a separate profile for each user, you need to have the user logged in when using this method.

Mapping for All Users

This method uses the AFS Client Configuration control panel to create a drive mapping that is available no matter who logs in on the computer. The mapping is done by the AFS Client service.

On a Windows 2000/XP computer, a login account may not have sufficient privileges to modify the AFS Client Configuration to create a drive mapping for that profile; mapping for all users gets around this problem.

If a computer is used by multiple people (i.e., multiple login accounts), it may be inconvenient to create drive mappings for each profile. Instead, use this method to create a mapping that will automatically apply to all logins.

1. Login with the account for which a mapping to the Q: drive will be created.
   
2. If the Q: drive is currently mapped, you need to disconnect it. In Windows Explorer, pull down the Tools menu and select Disconnect Network Drive. If Q: drive is listed, select the Q: drive and then click the OK button.

3. From the Start Menu, select:
     For Windows 2000: Settings -> Control Panel
     For Windows XP: Control Panel
