Mapping a network folder for a hidden RDN user

I've just installed the Oracle database, and during that I asked the program to create a database on a network folder that I have mapped to a drive letter in Windows. The user I have used for the mapping, has full read/write access to everything in that folder.

However when I then try to create the database, Oracle gives me an error about not being able to copy a file to the location on the drive. I've had the same problem when installing PostgreSQL, so I'm fairly certain that Oracle is trying to create it using it's own ORA_DBA user and not the one I'm currently logged in as on Windows.

And that leads me to the point of this post. Since ORA_DBA is not a user I can login as on the welcome screen, I can't add the network share that way. I can add it by running a command prompt as that user, but that's only valid for that command prompt then. What I need is a way to add that network folder with a drive letter permanently.

Is there some way to do this, perhaps though the Registry database?
