Hi,

How do i convert a mapped drive to an UNC path i .Net 2.0 ??
Is it really necessary to use "WNetGetUniversalName" ??

Either that or WNetGetConnection or the File System Object.

Please explain to me what you mean about "File System Object" ??

What i really want to do, is to understand how Explore know that a changes
in a UNC path also should be reflected in others UNC paths, like this:
\\servername\dir is the same as \\companyname\city\dir.

How does Explore knows when the above dirs is the same ??
I have tried to compare pidl's (IShellFolder:CompareIDs), but it doesn't
work.

Thank you in advance.

I think i have found an explanation to how Explore notify about directory
changes (SHCNE_UPDATEDIR).
It seems like the shell remember which directories i have looked in and
notify me if any of those directories has changed.
