BladeRunner Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I know this is a nit. I don't re-boot that often and I can always use Finder -> network to connect to the required NAS folders. Still, what I would like to know is a method of making those connections automatically when I login. The NAS device runs some version of Linux, but the folders appear as WinXX shares. If anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate some pointers. TIA.

I have bookmarked the URLs and begun my study.

BladeRunner Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Just to bring closure to the item, I thought I would provide my solution and again say thanks to Ramjet. I chose an AppleScript - saved as an application and then dragged to my Account -> startup items. The script is short and with no error checking, but given the nature of what it does I don't see that as a problem. This is the script: tell application "Finder" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/music" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/video" mount volume "smb://lrh@homestorage/pictures" end tell I chose "mount volume" in place of "open location" because the open actually opens a finder window and I didn't want that. I also got a lot of usefull information form the Apple developer site at http://developer.apple.com/ Again, thanks for the help.
