Why does a successfully mapped network drive disappear every time you boot the computer? A. The computer you are connected to has moved B. You didn’t click reconnect on log on C. The map statement is not in the autoexec.bat file D. The last drive was not set correctly E. None of the above

The computer you are connected to has moved
You didn't click reconnect on log on
The map statement is not in the autoexec.bat file
The last drive was not set correctly E. None of the above

The correct answer is: C. The map statement is not in the autoexec.bat file.

When you map a network drive, you are creating a virtual drive on your computer that points to a shared folder on another computer. This allows you to access the shared folder as if it were a local drive.

The map statement is used to create a network drive mapping. It is typically included in the autoexec.bat file, which is a batch file that is executed every time you start your computer.

If the map statement is not in the autoexec.bat file, the network drive will not be mapped when you start your computer. This is why the network drive disappears every time you boot your computer.

To fix this problem, you need to add the map statement to the autoexec.bat file. You can do this by opening the autoexec.bat file in a text editor and adding the following line:

map network drive Z: \server\share

Replace Z: with the drive letter you want to use for the network drive, and replace \server\share with the name of the computer and the shared folder.

Once you have added the map statement to the autoexec.bat file, save the file and close the text editor. Then, restart your computer. The network drive should now be mapped when you start your computer.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • A. The computer you are connected to has moved. This is not the correct answer because the network drive would still be mapped if the computer you are connected to has moved.
  • B. You didn’t click reconnect on log on. This is not the correct answer because the network drive would still be mapped if you clicked reconnect on log on.
  • D. The last drive was not set correctly. This is not the correct answer because the network drive would still be mapped if the last drive was set correctly.
  • E. None of the above. This is the correct answer because the map statement is not in the autoexec.bat file.
