Hello Brian,

I have continuously problems with your Bugfix for Bug 19:

  
FC/w now creates a temporary drive mapping when running a command in a UNC
directory which works around the problem.
    

When working for a while with FC/W under different UNC paths, all drive letters
are occupied. After that, FC/W refuses to execute any programs at not already
mapped directories.
In older versions of FC/W, I had no problems. Maybe you can add an
option so one can choose:

           Mapping of UNC paths:
           ( ) Map to first free drive
           ( ) Map to drive _______
           ( ) Do not map
I am working on a solution to this problem. I'm going to add tracking of 
drive mappings created so they can be re-used and removed when 
appropriate. I believe the main cause of left over drive mappings is 
from launching GUI apps from a UNC path. FC currently only tries once to 
unmap the drive at the point that it gets back control. This works for 
command line apps but GUI apps detach and so are still using the drive 
at that point.
