How to browse Windows network folders without mapping them?

[damezumari]

I use vfp9 sp2. The network uses Windows Server 2003 and the clients
WinXP.

I use Getdir() to browse the folders locally and on the network, but
can only see the network folders if they are mapped to a drive letter.

How can I see the network folders without mapping them?

Interesting...

I've been using the following in cases where I seed with a known
share... i.e.

\\thatcomputer\thisfolder

which works.

But, you are right... if I don't point to a known share, it defaults to
the default directory.

for example

\\thatcomputer\

does not work

Very similar behavior to winmobile's file explorer... if you know the
share, you can go there, but, if not...
