How to hide UNC path of a mapped drive in MyComputer in Windows 7
Hide UNC path, Network security, UNC path, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP Professional
In Windows XP Professional I used a renuse command in place of the net use command to map a drive for users in a lab environment. The advantage of this command is that it hid the unc path to the network share that the mapped drive referred to. However, This renuse command is not working in Windows 7 Professional. Is there a way to continue to hide this UNC path for these mapped drives shown in the My Computer Window.
