Question:

Is there a way to map a drive within a WinBatch script and keep the drive letter accessible only to that session ?? In other words, I don't want the drive letter to show up in Explorer or anywhere else in the rest of my Windows NT sessions.

Answer:

Nope, drive mappings are global.

You could map the drive without assigning a drive letter, by specifying @NONE for the "local-drive" parameter, and then access the files on it via UNC's (\\server\volume), if the program you're using supports UNC's and doesn't need drive letters.
