Is there any class in java which gives the network path you mapped to if you give drive letter?
For example, if in my computer i mapped E: to some remote path /abc/xyz.
Is there any system class in java which gives me the path /abc/xyz if I pass E:

No there isn't. You could do it using JNI but then you have to use C, C++ or another language that isn't Java and use Windows system calls.

I wonder what File.getCanonicalPath would do in that case...?

Just print E:\TheRestOfThePath

I just tested it on my XP SP3, so that's a no-go.
