<p>In a revertible MED-V workspace, you can map a network drive with MapNetworkDrive syntax: &quot;<em>MapNetworkDrive &lt;drive&gt; &lt;path&gt;</em>&quot;—for example, &quot;<em>MapNetworkDrive t: \\tux\data</em>&quot;.</p>
<p>For example, to publish Windows Explorer, use the following syntax: &quot;<em>c:\&quot; or &quot;c:\windows</em>&quot;.</p>
