In another post I told you that mapped drives are (Logon) session bound.
That means if an interactive user creates a use record (maps a drive), all
programs running in this session will have access to the mapped drive,
however, programs running in another logon session don't have access to
this/these mapped drives.
That means you need to create another use record from within your service.
But, really, I would never ever use a mapped drive, why not simply use a UNC
path?

I have a service which is a Windows Service, but it is running under a User
account - I enter my own credentials on installing.
It can access network files by specifying the full UNC path, i.e.
\\server\share, but it can't use mapped drive letters.
Is there anyway I can modify it so that it can?
Thanks
