haven't used the shelled net use since we (Bryce and cj were involved iirc) ridled the use of USE even for 'no-drive-letter-ipc$-mappings' (There is nothing left that ain't work with USE !)

sample (as used as udf in my admin scripts):

code:

---

...
				use "\\$Computer\$Share" /user:'$Domain\$User' /password:$Password
				if @error = 0 or @error = 1219
					exit(0)
				else
					exit(@error)
				endif
...
