MORE INFORMATION

Windows for Workgroups starts the default redirector at MS-DOS if any NET.EXE command is entered (with the exceptions of NET STOP and NET LOGOFF). Windows for Workgroups prompts the user for a logon name and password and then performs the requested function. For example, typing NET USE x: \\SERVER\SHARE starts the workstation services, performs a logon for the user, and makes the requested connection.
