 Webfork: Great program to keep your system and network clean but may be more trouble than some users want to get into.

Mapping a network drive is convinient for making storage seem like its directly connected but can use a lot of extra bandwidth and resources as your computer checks and monitors mapped shares. Only mapping them when needed using "Network Drive Mapper" solves this problem. Further, this program reduces clutter in your My Computer folder if you have 3+ network shares.

Unfortunately, I had some problems. I had to use a network IP address (e.g. \\192.168.1.100\sharename) rather than just share name. This requires that you connect to your router and set "static" IP addresses. This might be an advanced operation for some users. Also I had to always fill in a username and password, even though Window's own "map drive" function didn't require that. [2007-08-20 00:41]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
