Doesn't Windows 2000 and greater let you mount network drives in 
arbitrary places in the filesystem (another Microsoft 'invention' I 
guees).

Note that this is from some fuzzy memories of reading stuff about it, 
not that I ever used this functionality myself. If this does indeed 
work, then there may be more free disk space in "c:\Program Files" than 
in "c:\"  and it would be interesting to see how Windows deals with 
this.

So can anyone confirm whether I remember right? If yes, how does one do 
this kind of mounting and how does Windows deal with them when reporting 
the free disk space?
