One thing I forgot to mention. You might want to check if that drive is 
already mapped or you'll get an error. We force our drive letters by 
using the WNetCancelConnection2() method of win32wnet to un-map the 
drive letter if it's already mapped before we map the drives. We do this 
because some of users stick USB drives or other devices into their PCs 
before they login and the USB drive will grab the drive letter.
