For the record, Windows services can access shares just fine. I do it all the time. You just need to set the user context of the service to one that has permission to do so. By default, services run under LOCAL SYSTEM which is usually not granted permission to any network resources. Of course, every time I update SlimServer to the latest version, it resets to LOCAL SYSTEM and I have to reset the LOG ON parameters to one that has permission to access the music share. That's kind of a bummer because half the time i forget to reset it and I have to think why Slim.exe can't access the music. Doh!
