Re: Unmapping a "Disconnected Network Drive"

Interesting. I take it those drives are the ones mapped in the login
script. Should they be accessible as legitimate shares? If so, might there
be a server related issue re. user rights or some problem with cached
credentials? In the case where I used that registry fix, it was for a
stuck past mount that was more easily resolved.
