All,

What is the quickest way to determine whether a particular file is on the network or on the local disk.

I've got the following situation.

I'm using a FASTSTART utility that copies application files to the users application data folder, and start up from there.

This goes well as long as the user does not have a roaming profile. Then this folder is on the network, causing massive network traffic. Also, most likely the TEMP folder is also on the network.

I'm not onsite and have no authority to have anything to say about the configuration of the workstation. Therefore I want to be able to warn the users that they are running our software in a non-optimal way.

any help is appreciated

TIA,

Walter,
