Unmapping a "Disconnected Network Drive"

Hi,

A Windows XP domain client has logon scripts applied to map three network
drives, P, M and T. One client machine today has the old chestnut of
"Disconnected Network Drive" showing against each of the shares in My
Computer, and right click/disconnect gives the error "The network connection
could not be found".

I've been through all the usual tried and tested suggestions from this
newsgroup and others - net use * /delete ("There are no entries in the
list"), net use /persistent:no, rebooting, logging on as the local
administrator and doing it all again, renaming the drive to "kjshdfljdhfl",
searching the registry for the corresponding key and deleting it (it
resurrected itself on the next reboot), all to no avail.

No other client machines are affected, even in the same OU/Site where all
login scripts are generic.

Searching various newsgroups shows this exact problem occurring as early as
2004, and yet there still doesn't seem to be a coherent resolution for this
problem.

Any clues?
