Default " Drive letter hopping"

I have two drive mappings to the same data location on my
network. IE.. \\%Servername%\apps\data The respective
drive letters are H: and K:

IF a user is in MS Word or MS Excel and they select "OPEN"
then select the "LOOK IN" then select a drive letter that
is mapped to the same data location. The first drive
letter that was selected initially will always be the
default. If I selected K: I will not be able to open the
H: drive letter. It will keep changing to the K:

Our net work Team is calling this one the "drive hopping
phenomena".
We have tested this on Windows XP pro only.
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue.
