Ah, the old 'deep root mapping'.

This isn't a standard feature in NT.

As a workaround people use the SUBST command like this:

shell "%comspec% /c subst Q: \\server\Share$$\@USERID"

Kixtart sees a singe $ as the start of a variable. If you want to use a $ in a string you have to use a double $. (same goes for % and @)

You're lucky to have only WinNT4.0 workstations because this does not work on Win9x stations.
