What I need is the server machine name. I havn't been able to extrapolate that information from the path. I'll bet there is a way to return the UNC path from a mapped drive using an API routine. That way I could just supply CLSID and the machine name.

That helps alot! It's easier than the solution I found. Of course, if the user doesn't have WSH installed, it could blow up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the user have to install WSH if they are using Win95? Also, it comes installed with Win98 and above, right?

Thanks!
