How do I find out where a network drive on my work machine is mapped to?
One of the four has the location in brackets next to it but the other three don't.
Map a Drive in Windows XP. Open My Computer and click on the Tools menu option. From the drop down list, choose Map Network Drive. Pick a drive letter that you want to use to access the shared folder and then type in the UNC path to the folder. UNC path is just a special format for pointing to a folder on another computer. Gallpeters, hammer, sinusoidal and aitoff maps or projected onto a sphere. In other words, add map location data to your After Effects comp quickly and easily!

Doing the above but typing in NET USE
instead of copying the above also yields the same result.
In Windows Explorer, you can also switch the view to 'Details' and right-click the header to add a column named 'Network location':
Helps if the admin has disabled CMD for you (!)
Sometimes the net use or the Win32_LogicalDisk will not show some of the mapped drives, powershell cmd:

You can easily create a shortcut to another drive or folder shared on your network by mapping that location. When you map a network drive, it will show up as a new drive under This PC in File Explorer, so you can quickly access the shared files you need, just like you would your local hard drive. Here's how to make that network drive shortcut in Windows 10.
How to Map a Network Drive in Windows 10
1. Open File Explorer and select This PC.
2. Click the Map network drive drop-down in the ribbon menu at the top, then select 'Map network drive.' (This is under the Computer tab, which should open automatically when you go to This PC, as above.)
3. Select the drive letter you want to use for the network folder, then hit Browse.
4. If you receive an error message, then you'll need to turn on network discovery. To do so, open the Control Panel, select Network and Sharing Center and choose Change advanced sharing settings from the top-left corner. From there, select Turn on network discovery. Save changes.

5. Navigate to the folder you want to map and hit OK after selecting it.
6. Confirm your selection and click Finish. You can choose to reconnect to the folder every time you sign in so it's always available. You can even use a different user account to connect to the folder if needed.
7. When you're done, you should see the new drive letter under This PC and will be able to access its contents like you would any other folder. If you want to disconnect the network drive, right-click on it and select Disconnect.
