You can use the SetCurrentDirectoryAPI to set the current directory to
a UNC path. Here's a quick procedure that will do this:

Private Declare Function GetCurrentDirectoryA Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Public Sub SetUNCPath(ByVal szPathToSet As String)
SetCurrentDirectoryA szPathToSet
End Sub

Despite the name, it works on regular drive\path strings as well.
