    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    If the drive is mapped, simply issue the drive letter followed by a :

    Example - type in the mapped drive letter

    K:

    hit the enter key

    If you really need to use a UNC path from command line then use pushd and popd as described here
