You mean "w:\\", or it wouldn't compile. You can also say w:/, by the 
way, or just "w:".

Can't reproduce this. I just tried here (on WinXP), and got the expected 
behavior whether W: was an "actual" drive, a mapped (using subst) local 
directory or a mapped network share.

(Is your w: a CD-ROM, perchance?)

In any case, you can't just open \\ntserver-5. (I hope you said 
"\\\\nt-server5" in your source!). You can't browse the shares on a 
server using the regular File API. You can, however, browse 
"\\\\nt-server5\\Some Share"), provided you have the right permissions.
