Fletcher, I assume since you're in vista that you are running VS with elevated privileges (run as admin). This means that when you start the debugger in the ide you are not running in the logged in users account anymore, you are in the admin account. The easiest way to fix this for debugging is to start the cmd prompt with admin privs (right click and run as admin) then use the net use k: \\servername\map command to map the drive as admin. The compiled app will run fine since it is running in the users account. HTH, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

Hi all, Here is some basic code: .... For Each drive As String In System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives() Debug.WriteLine(drive) Next ' drive Debug.WriteLine(System.IO.Directory.Exists("k:\")) ... This code could just as easily been written in C#. In any case, if I bring up explorer, I have the following mapped drive: backup (\\fletcher)(K:) I can click on the mapping and see the folders located therein. But, if I run the code above, it only shows me drives C: and D:. And the last command returns FALSE. I can copy files to K:\Backup\ with no problem at all using Explorer. But .NET is positive that I do NOT have any other drives. My guess is that there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed to tell .NET to include mapped drives when using the IO.Directory classes. Any ideas? BTW, using: Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 - 77718-007-4009332-41823 Vista Ultimate with latest patches.
