Hi GTS,

I've deleted each of the ##server#share keys but there's also 48 keys with
GUID-style names, and in a fit of inspiration I backed up that section of the
registry and deleted each of those keys. Now, each time I refresh the My
Computer view and then refresh that section of the registry, the same five
keys reappear each time.

I delete those keys, go through the refresh process, and the same five keys
reappear. I rename the three drives with unique labels and see those labels
as values within three of these keys. I've no idea if the key names are
significant, but here they are:

{0BC1C0BB-B1D4-4078-A99A-33B36A6CE84C} (corresponds
to drive P)
{4fb54bb4-3ed7-11d9-adea-806d6172696f} (no value
other than "default")
{4fb54bb5-3ed7-11d9-adea-806d6172696f} (no value
other than "default")
{C55B3392-BC85-47A5-9A2A-1E77CC38522A} (corresponds
to drive M)
{DA011442-55FA-45B8-9564-2407DEECB60B} (corresponds
to drive T)

Recall that there's only three mapped drives having this issues, no other
mapped drives, and separate keys for drives A, C and D and one key called CPC.

Now here's the interesting bit.

I reboot, and the names I called the shares above are lost and they are each
again called "Disconnected Network Drive". Another four keys appear under
MountPoints2, and three of the new keys relate to the disconnected drives.
The keys I noted above are still present, but now apparently redundant.

I hope this helps ... (it hasn't helped me!!)
