    How to hide mapped network drive

    Hi all,

    In my vc app i have mapped 1 network drive. Now while the program is running then in explorer it's showing the mapped drive. I can disconnect the mapped drive when the program ends but what i want is that while the program is running the mapped drive should not be displayed in explorer or anywhere else.
    Is there any API available which will hide the mapped drive from explorer. can anybody help?

    thanks

    In my opinion, that kind of defeats the purpose of mapping a drive and would seem like a security issue to me. I really doubt you can hide something that you map, sorry bud!
