There are dozens if not hundreds of them. U: is mapped (by our IT department) to our Unix login (Unix/User, hence U:) directory. Other things are not our login directories and it would be wrong to map them there. Similarly, we would not want to require each user to duplicate a bunch of drive mappings on their desktops (or symlinks in their unix login directories) Thus, We use UNC paths for these other locations. For example, I would access your login at \\sashq\root\u\eliz whereas it would be U:\ for your, and you would see mine at \\sashq\root\u\sasdjb This has all evolved over a period of years... -- David J.
