For a non existing unc path there will be a short hang (10-15 secs here) which is normal when requesting invalid UNC paths even in the explorer. The return code will be fixed though.

Actually no. It's allowed to create shortcuts to non-exist unc paths (pre-creating future shortcuts). You need to do a manual FileExists() check prior to calling if you need to be sure the location exists.
