Thanks.
Well, that is solution # 1.
I disagree a bit about the "caveman" perception, but that's my fault ;-)
Still I seek an option where W2K doesn't verify the mapped network drive
but rather takes their presence for granted provisionally.
This is because some programs/installers need drive letters as they
choke on UNC paths sooner or later. Those wacky progs/installers have
not been written by me BTW, but they simply exist.
Is W2K simply not able to relax its mapped network drive checks? No
registry hacks or whatever?
