Sharing out the directory doesn't assign it a drive letter: it simply makes 
it available on the other systems.  You can use UNC to access it without a 
letter at all, although in practice that has limited use.
Share out the directory as "POO".  Then, on every machine INCLUDING the local 
machine, use NET USE M: \\\POO (or use Explorer to do this) and you 
will have the same M: drive on every machine.
