I made a false statement..

I have been sharing my folders for 5 years now, so never tried it your way. I just did it and it does work. As for the Root Share, yes it does need one.

i.e. No share, no connect.

\\MYSERVER\USERS shared, access okay
\\MYSERVER no share... no access for any OS.
so might as well be
\\MYSERVER\%USERNAME$% as the shared
half dozen of one/ half dozen of the other

Or you could be the Admin and use
\\MYSERVER\D$\USERS\user - and that would work also for an Admin but not a regular user.

If your code is working then you must be sharing the USERS main folder - True?
Which would mean if U: was mapped to home, you would have something like:
U: user on SERVER\USERS
and mine would look like
U: user$ on SERVER

If not, then hey I'm on another acid trip and I'll catch you when I get back...
