However, you cannot use local media in your library if you do this. The reason for this is that computer1 will have H:\Films\, but computer2 should access \\computer1\Films\ for the movies. So, when adding items to your library, you need to add them over the network -- even for the local computer. So, computer1 accesses \\computer1\...\, as will all other computers on the network.
you can create a symlink called "H:" that links to whatever you like... so you can have windows like naming on unix... thts how i host my itunes library and have other apps use it.
