in the run dialog box if you type \\server\Folder\
it will pop up the windows folder\target.

In command line I want to do that \\server\Folder\ in a
batch file that will make a DIR file of that directory.
but \\server\Folder\ does not goto to the folder
why not? or What should I do besides mapping the drive!
