in thread Win32::TieRegistry and Connect Method Errors

I don't know if there is an explicit need to connect to \\Machine\IPC$ since I just connect to the machine (see the post below).

Perhaps the more enlightened can tell me why it would be advantageous to connect directly to the IPC?

Also, it's IPC$ and not $IPC :).

    C:\>net use \\fs01 [...] D:\Callwave\Shared\IOCP>net use [...] OK \\fs01\IPC$ [...]

    Yes, newer versions of "net use" fill in the $IPC for you. I doubt anyone is still using "older" versions so there is no advantage.
