How to hyperlink to a mapped drive?
My windows XP box is mapped to a shared 'P:' drive.
I want to email a co-worker a link to some files on 'P' rather than a set of files. Assuming he has access I should be able to link to: \\Server\share\directory right?
How do hyperlink to a file on P? I don't know how to translate 'P' to \\Server\share .
Where does XP tell me what server/share P is actually mapped to?

I know of no way of hyperlinking to a mapped drive in an e-mail as there is no guarantee they have the drive mapping but you can hyperlink using the path such as \\Server\Folder\file.abc by choosing insert hyperlink and place the path.
