Open the Windows 7 "Network Drive Map" program code

I am trying to open a dialog which is manually accessible via "Computer> Map Network Drive" in Windows 7. Is there any programmatic way to open it directly, eg. with VBScript or PowerShell commands (not by triggering mouse or keyboard events)? I know the net use ...

shell command , but I specifically want to display this dialog.
