   Good. Then I don't need to keep repeating it then.

   Naaah. That was just a typo on my part.   
   But I can see how you might have interpreted that typo as gospel.   
   It's not. It's just a typo.   
      
   I *always* typed the drive letter, and the screenshots I posted prove it.

   See above. It was a typo. Don't get so angry about a mere typo in Usenet.   
   :)   
      
   The drive letter was typed. I posted those screenshots already many times.   
   You gotta look at the screenshots before you get mad. Then you can get mad.

   Yeah. But you're so focused on the typos you don't understand the question.   
   :)   
      
   When I use "net use drive:" with WebDav servers, it shows up in the GUI.   
   When I use "net use drive:" with SMB servers (so far), it does not.   
      
   The question is why not?
