Mapping network location in a folder

[TheWizard]

Hi all

Im looking for a way to mount/map a network folder in a local folder.

Example:

I want to map \\fileserver\files to the folder called remote_files on the C: partition

i tried using net use (net use c:\remote_files \\fileserver\files)

but that didnt work.

I know its possible to map partitions in folders (using the computer management console), and in linux this kinda network mounting procedure is easy using smbmount, but i simply can't find out how to do it in Windows (2003 and Xp)
