Good advice but a note of caution for those with SMP machines - the
behaviour net use is per user. should you at any point in the future
use the same account for both VM's then you may have issues, not to
mention accidental persistence of the drive mapping, deviceless
connections are not persistent (at least as of the current versions).

It is safer to avoid using a device name and make your
applications/scripts capable of using the unc name directly.
