Using CMD for UNC

Hey,

This might be a really stupid question, but I'm really stupid so I can't figure it out.
Basically, I have a computer with a program on it.
I want other computers to access that program as if it were on their computer, but it would actually be on my computer.

When I try to browse //Winston/PCREG (the folder where the program is located) I get an error saying that CMD cannot support UNC. I did my research and from what I understood, that basically meant that command prompt doesn't support network browsing.

I'm trying to create a bat file that the user and double click and launch the program from my machine. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
 
are you mounting a network drive? that's probably the best way to do this... do "net use q: //server/share" and then run it from the q: drive. also, some programs just don't run over network at all. if this doesn't work then it may not support network drives.
 
The net use command should work just turn the "/" around so that they are "\" so it is the opposite of what a URL looks like.

We use net use, net start, net stop in lots of startup scripts to map drives and printers when we departed the world of Novell.
 
You can use UNC paths, I know it says that but I use them all the time in batch scripts at work.
