Question: getting a real path from a mapped drive.

My question:

If I have a mapped driver letter g: that referes to
\\servername\d\foldername

How do I get java to convert it from g: to the real path so I can use
it?

I have a script that allows someone to locate a file on the server,
but most will use there mapped drives as they know nothing better.
Although I've tried to standardize the drives, its difficult to
maintain all the time with so many users. So, when they find their
file on the network g:\thisFolder\thisFile.txt...I want the script to
convert it to \\servername\d\foldername\thisFolder\thisFile.txt. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
