Is "\\mycomputer\myshare" considered to be unmapped? Or mapped? I don't have a network here so that was as close as I could test this issue.

Since several KB How-To articles use the SYS(5) + SYS( 2003 ) style, perhaps it would be useful to propose KB article changes?
I searched and there is no mention (that I found) of SYS(5) being inaccurate.
