Ramki A real world example: we have an app that has to have the same client path and server path to the files (including the same directory structure). Unfortunately on the server the path has to be to a local drive so we setup a local drive on a high drive letter, share the whole drive and on the clients map the share as the same drive letter.

I agree. Access to administrative shares should be restricted to administrators. There may be situations where one will want to make a whole partition accessible to his users, but for situations like that it'd be better to share the drive with a "speaking" name rather than the drive letter. And assign appropriate permissions, of course.
[Ramakrishnan B] I wonder, in a file server what situation could warrant sharing a entire partition; an explanation would add value.
