How to determine a mapped network drive path within a PowerBuilder application

Symptom

Customer wished to determine the full server path to a mapped network drive

Environment

Solution

The following steps allow you to determine the path for a mapped network drive from within a PowerBuilder application:

The full path of a mapped drive is stored in the registry. Let us take M: as an example drive.
Run regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network
Look for RemotePath under M entry which is the full path to the mapped network drive:

This value can be retrieved in a PowerBuilder application using the following PowerScript:
```
string ls_mapped_drive = "M"
string ls_remotepath
RegistryGet("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\" + ls_mapped_drive, "RemotePath", RegString!, ls_remotepath)
where ls_remotepath will contain the remotepath to the drive.
```
