There is a change in behaviour with WinXP as compared to earlier Microsoft
OS's, in that with XP, drive mappings apply to the user, and are only
accessible to the account which created them. In earlier versions, network
resources applied to the computer.

Personally I think this is a detrimental change as it makes it very hard to
perform network operations with services. But, that's the way it is.

Your options are to run the process as a non-system user, or to use a
batch-file to establish the share-connection when the process starts.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a scheduled task to run as the
System account, but use other credentials to access a network resource?
