if you cannot use UNC, and must use mapped driver letter, then you better
change your app to map the drive itself.
Then again, if you are changing the code of the app, you might as well
change it so it can use UNC.
Again, a mapped drive exists for the logged on user, so the question is your
app, running as a service, which log on user account is it using ?
