What is the best way to have a batch file check itself to
see if it's being executed from a unc path or drive
letter?

Perfect! Thank you!!

I had thought of having it check to see if it was being
run from the windows directory but didn't like that. The %
~d0 works great!!

Without having seen your question, I wrote and posted a batch just some
hours ago in amb which examines the origin of the running batch.

Of course using the same commands mentioned by Ray repective Clay.
May also be useful to count the folder levels independent of unc/drive
letter.
