Mapped drives and My Network Places

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Is there any difference when accessing folders by means of a mapped
drive and going all the way through My Network Places? I'm just
wandering as I have a strange problem with some of the users in our
network. Basically from time to time some of them and in practice
always the same ones age having difficulties with accessing some
folders shared on the server. They have all the permissions they need
and more and it's not just the matter of getting access denied error
but not being able to see any contents inside a shared folder at all.
More bizaarely on other occasions they can see and access all the
contents just fine. There are no limits set on how many users can
access any of company folders so that definitely wouldn't be causing
the problem. The server has 25 licenses and there are currently only
16 users. The licensing service is disabled as it's an old Win2k
server.
Any ideas?
Thanks
