NTDOC, I did look over those links you posted and they were quite interesting. But since those discussions seemed to be between experts at a higher level than I, I couldn't entirely follow it/absorb it. I do plan on printing them out and rereading them at my leisure. But right now I'm trying to get this thing to just work.

BSTYLES--thanks for the info on ScriptLogic. I'll bookmark it for reference, but there's a fee for it involved, I really can't go that route right now.

NTDOC---Oooooh! Ok, so that for /f "Tokens=*"...etc. line wasn't a Kixtart script step, but something to run in a batch file to turn unshared home directories into shares? Duh! It makes sense to me now.

Maybe I should back up a step here and explain myself clearer. NTDOC, would you say the following statement is true?

"THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE A SCRIPT WITH KIXTART THAT WILL MAP A W9X CLIENT TO HIS HOME DIRECTORY UNLESS THAT DIRECTORY IS A SHARE (OR YOU BUY A 3RD PARTY UTILITY)."

If the above is true then, yes, I have been able to use Kixtart to map a user's home directory that is shared. From everyone's help on here it seems that what I needed to do was use the "USE H: /DELETE" command BEFORE using "USE H: @HOMESHR" command.

However, if it is possible to map to a user's home directory that is NOT a share (but a folder below a share), then I'm still at a loss as to how to do it.
