I havent noticed it as I have always expanded the path to unc and beyond
so that no matter what form they give me for the path, it always
evaluates to the same string.
Another thing that may effect you is that on 64 bit server using TS -
constant crashes are being attributed to this issue. And the workaround
has been reported by other companies such as seagate - not to uses
shared drives. The error given is C0000006.

If a program runs from there, started as M:\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe , there
is a difference between XP and Windows 7:
XP Application.exename returns M:\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe
Windows 7 Application.exename returns
\\Server1\MySoftware\MyFolder\MyProgram.exe
ie Windows 7 expands the mapped drive to its real UNC name rather than
returning the mapped drive name, even though the program was run from a
shortcut using the mapped drive name.
Anyone know if this is a setting or preference that can be altered? Or do
I have to live with either being returned depending on Windows version?
Others may wish to check if this has ramifications for them!
