Josh, did you create a directory on a unix box and name it "C:"?  AFAIK,
windows thinks the root of the 'C' drive is 'C:\', not 'C:'.  Maybe that
confuses windows.  The colon ':' is not a legal char in windows file
names.

Is there a reason you have XP home clients on a network?  Are you
running a domain?

Although in theory you can map shares to drive letters with XP home,
when we tried it (with a win2k server) we never were able to get the
mappings to stick after logout/login.
