Mount a network share on a Folder?

Guest

I have a nasty feeling the answer to this is "no", but I want to be sure-

Is it possible (in XP home) to map a network share on a remote machine to a
local folder instead of a drive letter?

As far as I can see, "mountvol" will map only local volumes to folders.
Meanwhile "Net Use" will mount remote shares, but only to a drive letter.

I want to do something like-

mount c:/Music \\server\Music

This is standard practice in other OS's, but I can't see how to do it in XP.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Sorry, can't do this in Windows.
