Hi,
does anyone know a cool way to ensure that Windows Default shares that are mounted in OSX dont just appear as 'C$', 'D$' etc. ?

:confused:

I use a shell script to mount many drives all at once like this: -

mount -t smbfs //user:password@WINDOWSBOX/c$ /Volumes/DEVC
mount -t smbfs //user:password@WINDOWSBOX/d$ /Volumes/DEVD

This is great at the BASH prompt, I can just go into DEVD or DEVC and know where I am. However I am mounting about 5 servers so in Finder, there are 5 C$ and 5 D$ drives listed. There is no way to tell which is which.

if there is someway to label the drives, that would be great. In some applications, I cannot type the path to the drives so I have to guess which drive I am selecting which is frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ryan
