1) What determines what is displayed under the System name (ie Work
Management, File Systems etc)

Lots of things:
o The authority of the profile you signed on with.
o Which OpsNav components were installed
o The vagaries of WinDOS

2) Is there another way to map a drive other then using Operations
Navigator?

Yes. You can write you own code to call the IBM APIs. You can use a crappy but working set of tools in QUSRTOOL on later OS releases. Or you can buy product quality code from me for $300 that will do all you could possibly want with NetServer from a command line**. See http://www.flybynight.com.au/oncmd.html

**I'm not GUI-phobic. I use MacOS X and OS/2 every day (and suffer WinDOS occasionally). I just don't see why I should be forced to use the world's least reliable OS (WinDOS) to manage the world's most reliable (OS/400). Nor do I see why I should have to click,click,click,type,type,click,type,click,click,type,click to do something as simple as:
ADDSMBSHR SHARE(PUBLIC) TYPE(*FILE) PATH('/public/docs') TEXT('Public Documents') PERMISSION(*READWRITE)
