Auto Mount AFP Share in Mac OS X is very easy. No shell script, applescript, or automator is required. Just following the 7 simple steps:
- Goto System Preferences
- Goto Accounts
- Make sure you pick the user you use to login
- Goto Login Items
- Click on the + sign at the bottom of the list
- Browse the Shared network share. Make sure you open up the directory/folder you want to auto mount
- Click Add
- You should see the newly added share appears as the volume kind in the login item list. When you reboot and login, the share will be mounted automatically.

One of the things I really like about blog posts is the fact that they trigger a thought in my brain. When that happens, I feel as I need to provide feedback with the hope it is pleasant to others. As there are so many blogs with totally different points of view, they challenge your comprehension. It’s at these moments when you have helpful insignt others may not have had, and this includes the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to to your writings because you have some excellent insights and you are already at this a long time, that is very impressive and tells me you know your stuff. Keep sparking imagination in others!
