put x into URL... error on Windows network drive

[Phil Davis]

Is there any possibility that the network drive has spun down? I haven't 
tried it in recent versions of LC, but long ago I found I could get "the 
detailed files" of some folder on a sleeping drive and that would cause 
it to wake up!

Food for thought -
