Sorry if this is slightly off topic for the Samba list, but if anybody knows the answer to this question, it's probably a Samba person...
Does anybody know if there a way to make Windows XP think a "mapped network drive" is a "local drive", or at least get Windows to report to all applications that ask that a network drive is a local drive? There must be a whole bunch of registry settings that keep track of these things. I pose this question because I have a number of multimedia applications that will only store and access media files (sound, video, etc.) if those files are located on a "local drive". However, I am quite sure that ALL of these applications will work fine if the media files are on a network drive. I believe the above statement because newer versions of the same applications do NOT block using network drives and they work perfectly. At the time the older versions came out, the manufacturer sold its own networked storage and intentionally blocked access to 3rd party storage. Good hints or clues or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
