I've never used Citrix, Ramil, but I guess you shouldn't exclude that either.

I hope someone who knows tells us, whatever the cause.

>>I've run into this myself but in a different scenario. I was doing some document automation tasks and thought it would be smarter to use the rull UNC path to the documents versus a mapped drive letter - It works, but it's 10 times slower. I dont KNOW why, but It seems as if the OS has to make sure that the "device" is available and operating properly *before* it can access it - mapped drives are checked on the way in, only once. Mapped *devices* must be re-checked to make sure they're stil there. .
