Default Mapped Network Drives

Hi,

Got a piece of software that runs of a mapped network drive.

I am setting up a workstation to connect to it. But the program is
reporting back that it needs to be ran from X:\ENTRPRSE but vista is
reporting it to be
ran from \\server\entrprse

I have mapped \\server\entrprse to drive x: but vista is still reporting a
non 8.5 path format.

Is there a setting etc.... to override this ?

Thanks.
