Re: Unmapping a "Disconnected Network Drive"

I have found that when all else fails (particularly net use * /delete) that
a registry edit may fix the problem. (Usual warnings - be careful re.
editing registry...)

Under the key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2]look for an entry like this ##SRV02#C which is the way \\SRV02\C is shown.Delete that key. Then log off and on again or reboot. The stuckshareshould be gone.I'd appreciate your feedback if you apply this. I haven't seen any othermention of this solution, which I found after my own analysis, but it workedwell for me and others have reported success with it."--"Mayy" <Mayy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in messagenews:4C83270E-201F-4A16-BD0F-B8998C539E58@microsoft.com...> Hi,>> A Windows XP domain client has logon scripts applied to map three network> drives, P, M and T.
