I have seen here, and else where, that there is a time hit for going to 
\\MyComputer\Audio\ vs E:\Audio\. I am working on an application that 
speed is EVERYTHING on 'MyComputer'. It will also be holding a data file 
that will be referenced from numerous clients, so I was thinking that I 
need to save my file locations as UNCs, but the server needs to skip the 
NET stuff to get direct access to the Audio.
