Starting a service from a windows network drive gives me an error "The system cannot find the path specified."

Hi,

I have a service in a mapped network folder in Win 2003 server. While
I am starting this service I am getting "The system cannot find the
path specified" error message.

Can't we run a service which is present in a network folder?

Kindly let me know if there is any way that I can start the service
present in a mapped network folder.

Thanks

make sense. please clarify.
