So once somebody requires access to lots of folders, they run the risk of
running out of drive letters.

And someone in accounts may have a drive mapped as G:, yet somebody
somewhere else has it mapped as J:. That's a recipe for confusion.

Sorry, but I don't think that would work well at all, except for in the
smallest of companies.

accounting that the accounting manager is mapped to. In the accounting
folder we have more folders with shares on them. For example payroll,
accountspayable, et cetera. These shares are mapped directly to the
appropriate users. If a user needs more than one of these shares, they get
multiple mapped drives, not just the one nice, clean H: drive used by Novel.
