Determining Which Drive Letter Is Used
When LinkLaunch encounters the leading double slash of a UNC name, it attempts
to map a drive letter to the named remote device. You can allow LinkLaunch to
choose the letter, or you can specify the drive letter in the command.
Allowing LinkLaunch to Choose the Letter
If you do not specify a drive letter when you enter the command, LinkLaunch
selects a letter based upon settings in LL.INI. The following example does not specify a drive letter:
LL \\{remote}\apps\excel
In the above example, LinkLaunch would map a new drive, and then Launch Excel.
IF the UseExistingMappings flag is on, LinkLaunch would attempt to reuse an existing mapping.
Specifying a Drive Letter
Some applications require the use of a certain drive letter. For these
applications, you can specify a drive letter parameter in the link expression:
LL t:=\\{remote}\apps\excel
In the above example, LinkLaunch creates (or reuses) a drive mapping using the letter 't'. However, if 't' is already mapped to
another remote device, a message box tells the user which applications are using
't' and asks if the user wants to remap the drive letter.
