Sure.

Maybe you could try this:

Create an EXE. In the EXE, set the default directory and whatever to the local hard drive. Make sure the program only uses the local drive for anything other than actually loading the EXE. Put it on a server and run it from a workstation. Shut the server down. If the workstation loads the entire EXE when run, there should be no problem. If there is a problem, I would think it means the EXE file on the servers is being accessed more than once.

Use as big (# of compiled program modules) of an EXE as you can.

Please report your findings.
