map a Drive "V:/" for each session

whenever a user log in in my web application, i am trying to Map a drive "V:/" to a network path which is unique to each user(but i have to map to drive V:/ only). As any number of users can login to the web app at a particular time , i do not know how to do this mapping in the web server

I have to map "V:/" drive only because, the ultimate aim is to open a word document which is a mail merge document with reference to Merge data document path to "V:/emerge.txt". So if i open a document without this drive it will give me error.Also i have to map to unique network paths for different documents opened by different users. so i have to remap the "V:/" drive for each user

can anyone tell me how to map a "V:/" drive in the web server which will be unique for each user
Thanks

Mapping drives and opening Word documents are all client-side tasks which
have little to do with ASP.NET. You could, of course, write some JavaScript
code to do the work, but perhaps you'd be better off writing a Windows Forms
application instead of an ASP.NET application? The application can still be
distributed via the web.

I have a service which is a Windows Service, but it is running under a User account - I enter my own credentials on installing. It can access network files by specifying the full UNC path, i.e. \\server\share, but it can't use mapped drive letters. Is there anyway I can modify it so that it can? Thanks

Hi, I'm using PHP 4.4.4 on Apache 2 on Fedora Core 5. PHP was installed using Apache's apxs and the php library was installed to /usr/local/php.

The php.ini file is located at /usr/local/lib/php/php.ini. Any ideas why the setting does not seem to be having an effect? ...

I am actually trying to get the UNC path of the main module of a process running from a mapped drive, and I am trying to do this from a service. The ProcessModule class only provides the full path with the mapped drive letter, but the drive letter refers to the drive mapping for the user that started the process, and cannot be resolved to a UNC path from a service running under LocalSystem. Presumably, therefore, I need to get the drive...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
