Citrix - Create a mapped drive

This KB will show you how to create a lettered drive to a folder of you choice on your local PC.

Create the Share on your local PC

Create the folder in the location you prefer >I created a Swizznet Files folder in the Documents folder

 Right click the windows key > Select Computer Management

Right click the white space > Select New Share

The Create A Shared Folder Wizard opens > Select Next

Select Browse

Navigate to the folder you created > Select OK

Select Next

Enter a Description if you like > Next

Select Customize Permissions

Select Full Control > OK

Select Finish

You will now see share named whatever you named it. In my case it is Swizznet Files

Create a Mapped Drive

Right click the windows key > Select System

Take note of the Device name we will need this shortly

Open your File Explorer > Select This PC > Map network drive

Use this format for the Folder path \\server\share. My case it is \\rrottachPC\Swizznet Files

Select the drive letter of you choice that is not being used > Enter the Share path > Finish

You File Explorer should open and you now have a lettered drive to the folder you need access too. The name of the drive probably looks messy so we will rename it.

Right Click the drive you created > Select Rename > Name the drive whatever you like

Open your Swizznet File Explorer and you will now see the drive you created with access to that folder
