    Can't access a mapped drive

    I have mapped a directory on a home networked computer to drive Z:. At a command prompt, I can switch to drive Z: and perform a directory listing. In File Explorer the directory shows under "Network locations" as "d (\\192.168.0.103) (Z:)", where d is the mapped directory and the number within parentheses is the computer's IP address.

    However in a Visual Basic program, the statement

    Dim Drives() As DriveInfo = DriveInfo.GetDrives

    does *not* return drive Z: as one of the drives and a statement referring to a file in Z: returns a Directory Not Found exception.

    How can I access a networked drive from within Visual Basic?
