Network drive into a Local Drive

Guest

Is there a way in Windows 2000 to map a network drive but have the operating
system think it is a local drive.

The reason is, I have an application that works with IIS. I want the content
of the website to be on a network drive. IIS will let me configure the
virtual directory to a network drive via UNC path, but my application does
not support UNC path. Which means when I try to upload content to the
website, it fails. If I chose a local path in both IIS and in my application,
everything works fine. Please let me know if there is any way to trick
windows into believing that a mapped network drive is a local drive.

Thanks

net use X \\computername\sharename /persistent:yes

Where X is the drive letter to assign.
