my bro share out a movies name spiderman and i know that he put it in the f:\movies that he share out

so here my question is there a way to make a batch that will directly go to folder instead of click start/my NETWORK place/movies/spiderman/spiderman.avi

here is my command seem didnt work ... keep saying the network path was not found

start /max \\192.xx.xx.xx\movies\spiderman\spiderman.avi

im USING window xp SP2

any1 can help me outYou don't need /max to open a video file but I don't think you can open a file over a shared network. Where are you getting that ip address from?
Anyways...hang tight and someone might have an answer.well im currently sharing a modem with my bro so that where the ip come from anyway thx for the /max command Well, I'm sharing a modem with my brother, but that doesn't mean I have access to his files!

You have to SET up a shared connection first. Have you done that?

Anyway, the way I'm seeing this is that your code could work in your bro's main drive was F:.


I'd try something like this (don't really know if it will work, but just try it.
Code: [SELECT]start \\192.xx.xx.xx\F:\movies\spiderman\spiderman.avi

But I'm just thinking the problem is that you aren't in a network. Try setting up on, because just being physically connected by a modem won't do anything.well i did try like what you did but no luck it didnt work it just poping out the network path was not found

well anyway thx for the helpJust a quick question before you go, have you set up a shared connection? If you haven't, that's probably the problem (I tried this with my brother, and because we don't have a shared connection, it showed the message also).Quote from: Dark Blade on May 29, 2007, 12:50:24 AM
