I'm referring to any API that is provided by the OS which is specifically designed for comparing paths and/or filesystem objects.  For example, PathIsPrefix()

well that really opens up a big can of worms doesn't it. i found all the file compares but not the same as a path parent/child comparison. Again you are correct in thinking about UNC/Mapped comparisons because that actually was the next question to come up. I will keep digging around and thanks for the heads up.
