Kicking the drive letter habit

[ITWombat]

Microsoft are trying to wean people off drive letters and on to UNCs.

 

Has anybody done this in thier school? Wiithout drive letters how do you make shared folders visible to users. Basically, how do you auto-populate My Network Places. Is it jist a case of downloading a set of prefab LNK (shortcut) files into a user's profile?

 

Alternatively do you make shares visible using active directory?

We still use drive letters in most cases and other things just have shortcuts to the UNC path.
