Speed: Actual network paths vs. mapped network drives

[Allen Schoessler]

Is there a speed difference when browsing the network between the actual network paths (through Network Neighborhood) or mapping the path to a network drive ? I thought I'd heard somewhere that mapping the drive was faster, is this true, or are they the same ?

Thanks....

It would be the same...I would say.

The only speed diference is the time taken to type the address ;).
