It matters, if someone is going to try to duplicate the problem.

Right. I think that is where the problem is going to be then.
Since your hiding the share, the network doesn't know it exists, until
it is actually mounted...
Which is a windows feature. (as MS calls it) -IMO

Hrm. maybe make a batch file that calls REGEDIT4 Sets the hidden
share path, and then fires up the bat (when your using the laptop)
and another batch file which calls REGEDIT4 again editing the path
when your back on your desktop.. (Just an Idea)
Perhaps, Maybe a workaround for you? If not then I dunno what to
tell you. I used to run a bbs, and I had to toss mail from FRODO to
the mail tosser, and from email to the mail tosser and FRODO, and both
were on different boxes. I finally got it all working, but the timing
was always a problem if I recall now. In other words if one thing
didn't do something that was expected it caused a bunch of other
little problems in other batch files. Not exactly your problem, but
the bbs software, wouldn't run on a hidden share either... <G>
I've always used "hidden shares" for archive storage.

... Why I use the bat #486590: I tried Outlook once, I didn't like it.
