Andy are you sure? I don't remember seeing UNC paths that have been added to a 
dsm.opt show up in the GUI ever. I'm wondering if the F: drive shows up in 
Wanda's case because it is mapped and all mapped drives show up under Network 
in the GUI.  I just mapped a drive without ever putting anything in the dsm.opt 
and I see it under Network. Further I added it to the dsm.opt and that didn't 
change the fact that it only showed up under Network.
   
  What I'm asking is do you really think adding something to the domain 
statement, drive letter or UNC, will really have an effect on the GUI?
   
  I'm running the V5.2.3 client on WinXP

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
