- **Browse:** Start → Run → `\\HOST\HOST`
- **Map a letter:** in Explorer, Tools → Map Network Drive → `Z:` →
`\\HOST\HOST` → ☑ Reconnect at logon
- **Batch shortcut:** the share root exposes a virtual `_MAPZ.BAT` that runs
`NET USE Z: \\HOST\HOST`. Double-click once, or copy it to
`C:\WINDOWS\STARTM~1\PROGRAMS\STARTUP` to reconnect every boot.
Open **My Computer** → **Z:**. The `W95TOOLS.EXE` guest agent auto-maps
`\\HOST\HOST` to `Z:` at login, so the share is available as a drive letter
out of the box. If the agent isn't running, the underlying UNC path still
works via Start → Run → `\\HOST\HOST`.
NetBIOS over TCP/IP must be enabled (Control Panel → Network → TCP/IP
properties → NetBIOS tab). This is baked into the default state image.
