Mapping Network Drives

Every student at SMG has access to several different network directories. Follow these directions to map network directories to Drive letters so you can access these directories from your computer quickly and easily.

Click here for more information about these network directories. This process must be performed while connected to the School of Management network.

Open Windows Explorer. To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
Under the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive.
In the Map Network Drive box select "H:" from the Drive drop-down box.
In the Folder drop-down box type " \\Smgshare\winapps".
Check the box next to "Reconnect at logon". Now click Finish.

Repeat this process so you have each of these Drive letters and Folders:

Drive	Folder
H:	\\Smgshare\WINAPPS
Q:	\\Smgshare\CLASSNOTES
S:	\\Smgshare\STUDENTSHARE

Although you can use any drive letter that you prefer, we strongly encourage you to use the drive letters specified here so that your computer conforms with the rest of the computers in the SMG community.

Note: If you start up your laptop when it is not connected to the network, you will get an error message stating that these mapped directories could not be found. You will be prompted to continue to restore connections. Click NO.
