Comment:

Not much of options exists for this function: one can not specify a disk letter and network path through the input parameters.

The NET USE command connects a computer to, or disconnects a computer from a shared resource; or displays information about computer connections. The command also controls persistent net connections.

Syntax:

net use [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume]] [password | *]  
[/user:[domainname\]username] [[/delete] | [/persistent:{yes | no}]]  
  
net use devicename [/home [password | *]] [/delete: {yes | no}]  
  
net use [/persistent: {yes | no}]
