I don't have time to read this (fairly long) thread but I've been using
a (tiny) macro for years which I think may meet your needs perfectly.
You can get it from here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.sources/3157
In your case, you could define a command 'M-x cifs' in your ~/.emacs
like so:
(require 'commandir)
(commandir cifs ; command name
"CIFS hosted filename: " ; prompt
"\\server\dir=long_sub_dir\subdir" ; directory
"<name-of-file-you-visit-most" ; default
)
The great thing is you can define as many commands as you like:
(commandir cifs2 ...)
HTH,
Sebastian
