RE: can a service map a network share to a drive letter

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for the feedback.

This approach will work in Windows Service. I have just created a sample
project and used Donn's code snippet for testing, it works well by printing
the drive free space. From principle perspective, this established LAN
session and drive letter will be setup in the calling process logon
session. So this LAN session is established in user wide. This means that
the LAN session you established in Windows Service will be invisible to the
interactive user because they are in different logon session in the machine.

Hope this is clear to you. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
