It sounds like you are talking about the difference
between \\server\share\mydocs and k:\mydocs where k: is a
mapped drive to \\server\share. If you call "mydocuments"
via a UNC path it has to authenticate first. If you map
first, then use the mapped path, well you've already
completed part of the process you are seeing take place
when you use the redirect.
