Where is the "net use" command?
I am able to use the "net use" command in command prompt in Windows 7. Why is it not documented here?<br /><br /><pre>C:\Users\danjam&gt;ver<br /><br />Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]<br /><br />C:\Users\danjam&gt;net use /?<br />The syntax of this command is:<br /><br />NET USE<br />[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]<br /> [/USER:[domainname\]username]<br /> [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]<br /> [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]<br /> [/SMARTCARD]<br /> [/SAVECRED]<br /> [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]<br /><br />NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME<br /><br />NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]<br /><br />C:\Users\danjam&gt;net use P: \\fileman80\Private\danjam /persistent:yes<br />The command completed successfully.<br /><br />C:\Users\danjam&gt;net /?<br />The syntax of this command is:<br /><br />NET<br /> [ ACCOUNTS | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP |<br /> HELPMSG | LOCALGROUP | PAUSE | SESSION | SHARE | START |<br /> STATISTICS | STOP | TIME | USE | USER | VIEW ]<br /><br />C:\Users\danjam&gt;</pre><br />I believe Microsoft had to take the "Easter eggs" out of Windows because the Department of Defense requires that computer systems it uses have no undocumented features. I have identified several undocumented features of the "net" command. This problem exists in the built-in Windows 7 help as well.<br /><br />
