UNC, short for universal naming convention (or uniform naming convention), is a special way to address network locations and devices using Microsoft networking software such as Microsoft Windows and the family of Microsoft Server packages available from the company. Samba also makes use of UNC in the same way. Its usage is very intuitive allowing quick access to resources in remote locations through operations as quick and easy as Start > Run, then typing the UNC path.
