Help me switch to Mac
So I've had a g4 titanium for about 3 years or so, and am wanting to switch to it for good. I never did because I have so much Windows stuff, and dont really want to lose it. So I've decided to buy a KVM switch, upgrade my XP box to a server, and use it for storing mp3's, files, movies, and become my web/mail server.

My thing is, does anyone know how to set up scripts on OSX to map drives at boot? I know you can press apple-g I think to get the servers, then browse around, but the links arent there when I reboot.

Thanks!

Congradulations. You would use Automator to create the script, then place the script in your startup items (folder). Sorry for the lack of detail, not near my computer at the moment.

well, u might not need apple script for that. you can prolly use the machine sharing properties and then create a short cut at your desktop. I have done this for 2 macs on the network but not for a windows and mac. I believe it should be possible in the same fashion.

Presumably you'd be using something like bonjour for this? Automator would probably be the easiest method
