It is definitely possible for Drive C: to be a network share on all versions of Windows starting from Windows 95. This does not exempt Windows XP/Vista/2k3/2k8. In fact, a public library in Indiana that I used to go to before I moved has all their machines set up this way. It takes a LOT of

Also, Drive A: and B: can be used for network shares if you don't have a floppy drive, but this will break floppy drive support. In general, it isn't a good idea to allow Drive A: to be a network share, but since few modern machines have a 5 1/4 floppy drive anymore, Drive B: is up for grabs as a
