Hi Frank Slootweg,
I just read this, and, I have to say, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!
You're the _only_ one who _comprehends_ the problem set.

FTP    (X:) drive: <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4233679dir018.jpg>
WebDAV (X:) drive: <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8624465dir019.jpg>

Sure, it's complex: But nobody but you and me seem to comprehend it.
Thank you for that summary above (which is better than I could write!).

I've concluded my tests, for the most part, where I _agree_ that "net use"
works _differently_ for WebDav than for FTP. It just does. Why? Hell if I
know. But it clearly does work differently.

What I wish I understood better is why Windows treats them differently,
and, more importantly, why I can almost perfectly treat the WebDav share as
an X: drive, even though it doesn't literally show up as a "removable
drive" as shown in this screenshot I posted a few days ago when I started
this quest. 
o "net use" <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8605173dir05.jpg>

Notice, by way of contrast, that FTP shares do show up as literally a
"removable drive".
o DirectNetDrive <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6340420dir012.jpg>
o NetDrive v1.3.2.0 <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=1383190dir014.jpg

That the WebDav "X:" is "slightly" different than the FTP "X:" drive is
what confuses me because I don't understand why Windows is "almost"
treating both as a "removable drive", but not completely doing so for the
WebDav as much as it's treating FTP shares as a bona-fide removable drive.
o FTP shares as a "removable drive" works perfectly!
  <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7002518dir020.jpg>
o WebDAV shares as a "removable drive" almost works perfectly
  <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8624465dir019.jpg>

Not knowing what is different in Windows - which makes FTP "drive letter
X:" show up in the "removable drive" section, but the "WebDAV drive letter
X:" shows up in the network location section - and yet - I can run DOS
commands on both (but slightly differently).

Does anyone know why the X: drive letter is treated differently by Windows
for FTP shares (perfectly) versus for WebDAV shares (slightly less
perfectly)?
