Solution 2

First, you can't hide a mapped drive from the user. The application they are running (assuming it that created the mapped drive) is running AS THE USER.

You should have provided more detail into what you were doing in your other question.

Do NOT use a mapped drive. Use UNC paths instead.

Solution 1

Do not use a mapped drive, use the (hidden) network share instead.
