SYMPTOMS
========
If you try to call a batch file from a .pif file containing a UNC path, you may
receive "File not found," "Path not found," or other various error messages. If
the batch file is run from a command prompt, it completes as expected.
RESOLUTION
==========
Do not call the batch file from a .pif file. If this is not an option, use a
mapped drive letter instead of a UNC path. There is currently no known
workaround if a mapped drive letter cannot be used (for example, when you copy
<what> to a shared printer).
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5x and
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
