on windows 2003. id like to use ruby to process my login script.

how do you read all mapped drives, map a drive or disconnect a mapped  
drive with ruby?

similar to the above?

I have a script to map some drives, with stuff such as:

require ‘win32ole’  
net = WIN32OLE.new(‘WScript.Network’)  
user\_name = ‘some\_user\_name’  
password = ‘top-secret-password’

net.MapNetworkDrive( ‘X:’, ‘\james3480$C’, nil, user\_name, password )

Poke around MSDN for WScript.Network examples using JScript or VBScript.

That’s how I worked out what I needed.
