[AccessD] OT directory folder as URL

Hi Seth:

I use a similar setting for our internal intranet. I obviously was a little
unspecific. I was trying to find out if there was a simple method for
mapping a drive letter to a remote html site...Ironically I know the methods
of connecting older versions of Windows like Win32 and Window95...using the
LMHOST file but the new versions do not seem to work the same way. I finally
gave up and am now implementing VPN instead :-(

Thank you very much for your help.
Jim

Jim,

Here's an example:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/sgsax/My%20Documents/test.htm

Notice the slashes are all "backwards", and the additional slash before
the drive letter.  Also see that spaces are inserted using their ascii
number.
