Peter,
you're right, with more playing with it this morning I've seen the light ;),
TSE 4.0 doesn't allow drive mapping regardless of the RDP client version . .
.however MS does have a work around to allow Win2k servers to map client
drives.
See MS Q # Q272519
No Citrix involved . . . drive C: was mentioned before as an example.

Hi Jim,
I tried but it does not work.
When I try to access local drives using share names like
\\tsclient\c
or
\\tsclient\c$
I always get system error 53.
(check with "net helpmsg 53", I could only give you the german version of
the message as we have only german windows2000 for our terminalservers)
So my assumption is that it does not work on a Windows2000 server (sp2) with
Terminal Services in application mode
WITHOUT citrix metaframe. Of course, this will work under Metaframe 1.8 but
this is not due to the RDP 5.1 client.
Note also that it is not usual to have drive C: on a non-Metaframe
terminalserver available to map to an other drive, as it is assigned to the
system partition there. And I do not know that Microsoft does recommend or
support the drive remapping feature (what caused us a lot of headache at the
beginning, because of IIS and Office) on their terminal server. Therefore I
would not like to do that on a production server ...
