Should I choose a UNC-path or a mapped drive when I install your product on the server?

If your kalmstrom.com product should be installed in a shared file folder on a server, you can use either a UNC-path, such as \\servername\sharename, or a mapped drive, such as Y:.

Mapped drives are considered to be more secure than UNC paths, but you must be aware that the product's homepage will be seen only by users who have the mapped drive on their computer. Therefore you must make sure that all users have the mapped drive if you use it.

If you specify an UNC path as installation place, all users of the Exchange server will see it.
