According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/getdrivetype.asp

DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR is also returned for
"The root path is invalid, for example, no volume is mounted at the path."

Since I could actually turn the overlays on and off with "Network drives" I am
pretty sure that for some reason DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR was returned for s: when
it shouldn't have. I actually turned it one and off several times because I
couldn't believe it.

Since I cannot reproduce the behaviour any more their is little we can do at
the moment.
