Need "network" advice

[nbmprivat]

I got a assignmen today that I'm unsure about. We have a network drive with many programs and some bat(ch) files. Now we want a interface with buttons that start these bat(ch) files. These are needed througout the network if something needs to be installed on the users pc.

1. Is it possible to get access to a network drive within code? If so, how do I go about this?
2. HOW?

Oh, and this little interface should be available on the intranet so that everybody can start it.

Is this drive mapped as a network drive?? If so, just use the regular drive letter like you would anything else... As for the executing part, check out my codebank submission on automating the command prompt... but you could just code what is in the batch files in the application and not even need them anymore...

[nbmprivat]

No it should not be mapped as a network drive. We have a intranet (website) where this little app should be run and then get access to the network drive and the specific installation files or batch files. Maybe this isn't possible?

[nbmprivat]

Thinking about it, theoretically it shouldn't be possible to run the installation files without mapping the drive, right?
