## Assign drive letters to other folders using "net use"

You can assign a drive letter to a KONNEKT folder, by using the *`net use`* command.

**Usage**

```
net use <DRIVE-LETTER>: <KONNEKT-UNC-PATH> [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]
```

For more information on the *`net use`* command see [here](https://ss64.com/nt/net-use.html), or run `net use /?` in your command prompt.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to run CMD without admin rights to avoid any connecting errors for normal users.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** if the name of Folder contains spaces you have to but the UNC-Path in " " like in the next example.
{% endhint %}
