I take my laptop to work and we keep our files on a server. so when i get there i log on and have access to the server. i don't have the drive in my computer because when ever i go home and turn on my laptop it searches for the drive. Right now i have a shortcut on my desktop to the drive which doesn't search for the drive unless i click it, but the problem is i use cad, and at work we have viewports on drawings that are pathed to the drive. so the path looks like this "z:job number" , but when i use my shortcut i get "server/Z:job number". (z is one of the drives on the server) ok so my question is is there a way to add that drive to my computer but only have it search for the drive when i connect to the network at work and not home?.
home this makes sense
thanks if anyone can help

if I understand, you just right click my computer and select Map Network Drive. I have a few shortcuts that are to network applications, and this is how we got those folders on the desktop.

You should be able to right click and disable the drive,and then enable it once your at work.

To exsplain alittle better right-click my computer, you should see map network drive & disable network drive. Choose the drive you want to deactivate. Hope this helps.
