IIS access a network share

How can IIS be configured to map a network drive so that it can store/delete
files from it? I can map the drive when I log in, but that's not the
behavior I want. I need it to map the drive for IIS.

Note, there's a separate login required to activate the network share.

Can someone help? Thanks.

You can't use a mapped drive as that only exists in the context of a locally
logged on user's environment. You need to use UNC path instead.

The problem here is, I need to be able to write/modify files in the network
path using an aspx script. Also, accessing the network path requires a
login as well. How can this be done?
