Even that is rather strange.  Unless the user has a user login script
which would disable the running of the system login script (built into
LOGIN.EXE), as a bare minimum, the user would get a default SEARCH MAP
to PUBLIC (Z:) so the user would have access to the CLU's stored there.
This program seems to map the user to the directory where the program
resides which leads me to believe that it somehow is running some type
of script to generate a Login and Mapping for a particular drive letter.
Again, this would indicate to me that he has some type of Container, Profile
or User login script that he doesn't know exists or the program's
startup is doing it on the fly.
My suggestion would be to examine the tree with NWADMIN (v4.10) or
NWADMN3X (v4.11) to see if there is indeed a Container, Profile or User
login script that's creating the mapping he's seeing.  If not, examine
the program's home directory for any batchfiles or scripts that have
LOGIN and MAPping statements in them.
