I have a network where I have several mapped drives. I am using Win XP Pro.

When I click on My Network Places, I have a list of my 3 PC's, each of which has 3 different mapped locations.

e.g.

Jon's C Drive
Jon's Desktop
Jon's My Documents
PC2 C Drive
PC2 Desktop
etc

Is this the normal (best) way for using mapped drives? Or should I stick to just:

Jon's C Drive
PC2 C drive

What about the naming convention?

Any tips and suggestions are appreciated.

Jon

you can name it whatever makes it easiest for you. there are no specific rules.

be careful of the terms you choose. UNC is different from just naming shares.
