Drive at Server

A question regarding a small office LAN using XP.

The server machine has a shared drive (D:) and other client machines can
access it.
Each client views the shared drive at the server as Y: drive (ie. network
drive).
However, at the server when I opened Explorer, I also see Y: as network
drive that has the same contents as the D: (local) drive.

Why does the server also show Y: network drive that is actually the local D:
drive? Shouldn't the server only show the local D: drive, perhaps with
different symbol eg. shared symbol? Is it how it supposed to be or do I miss
something?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a roaming profile, so when you login anywhere, it maps the Y:
drive for you automatically? And using the same account to login to the server?
