Good. Then I don't need to keep repeating it then.

Naaah. That was just a typo on my part. 
But I can see how you might have interpreted that typo as gospel.
It's not. It's just a typo. 

I *always* typed the drive letter, and the screenshots I posted prove it.

It's the as with WebDav servers, only they result in a drive in the GUI.

See above. It was a typo. Don't get so angry about a mere typo in Usenet.
:)

The drive letter was typed. I posted those screenshots already many times.
You gotta look at the screenshots before you get mad. Then you can get mad. 
:)

Yeah. But you're so focused on the typos you don't understand the question. 
:)

When I use "net use drive:" with WebDav servers, it shows up in the GUI.
When I use "net use drive:" with SMB servers (so far), it does not.

The question is why not?
