I never knew that a application shortcut could map a drive

We came across something today where a user would  double click a shorcut and it would actually then map a network drive... weird?  Not really. Turns out this is actually by design. If you create a shortcut from a mapped network drive it will store the mapping information in the shortcut (try opening a .lnk in notepad).
