Andy are you sure? I don't remember seeing UNC paths that have been added to a dsm.opt show up in the GUI ever. I'm wondering if the F: drive shows up in Wanda's case because it is mapped and all mapped drives show up under Network in the GUI. I just mapped a drive without ever putting anything in the dsm.opt and I see it under Network. Further I added it to the dsm.opt and that didn't change the fact that it only showed up under Network. What I'm asking is do you really think adding something to the domain statement, drive letter or UNC, will really have an effect on the GUI? I'm running the V5.2.3 client on WinXP Kyle
