That is obvious.

Good. Then I don't need to keep repeating it then.

I have no idea why it's a drive letter on the command line but not the GUI.

 
Because you are doing it wrong.

Even better, tell me how to do it right(ly).

 

Does anyone have any idea why not?

 
Because you are using
net use \ipaddress\share /user:name password. 
 
You need a drive letter in there.  I DO THIS ALL THE TIME.

Naaah. That was just a typo on my part.
But I can see how you might have interpreted that typo as gospel.
It's not. It's just a typo.

I *always* typed the drive letter, and the screenshots I posted prove it.

It's the as with WebDav servers, only they result in a drive in the GUI.

I ALREADY explained this to you in the "How do nonroot" thread. Stop making
this absurd claim. Of COURSE you can map it as a drive letter.  I AM DOING IT
ALL THE TIME.
 
net use D: \ipaddress\share /user:name password. 

See above. It was a typo. Don't get so angry about a mere typo in Usenet.
:)

The drive letter was typed. I posted those screenshots already many times.
You gotta look at the screenshots before you get mad. Then you can get mad.
:)

You have to ASSIGN a drive letter for it to appear in Windows File Explorer.
I DO THIS ALL THE TIME. It is NOT "imaginary functionality".

Yeah. But you're so focused on the typos you don't understand the question.
:)

When I use "net use drive:" with WebDav servers, it shows up in the GUI.
When I use "net use drive:" with SMB servers (so far), it does not.

The question is why not?
