You can provide automatic mapping of client drives (even network mapped ones) 
using a Citrix client, too.

However, the only way to be selective about it (this chap just wants the z: 
drive) is to use scripting. And I believe he wants the mapped drive in the 
Citrix session to be direct to the resource, anyways, so a little moot.
