Mapped network drives reappearing

[forumit]

If i disconnect cetain map network drives on a specific computer it reapppears - sometimes without rebooting or as a different drive letter. We are not running any login scripts.Any idea why it will reappear every time?

You could do a registry search for the \\computername\share and see if you can find it and delete it in the registry.

You're SURE you're not doing any login script?

At a command prompt, type net use. Does it tell you that connections 'will' or 'will not' be remembered?

^^^^ That's a better idea than mine or a more direct way of doing it.

net use only shows status, local, remote and network info. Nothing about "will" or "will not". Also users dont have access to regedit - blocked.

Well, you being the administrator can certainly give them temporary access so that YOU can troubleshoot while still logged on as a user.

You could also do a remote registry edit if you booted up to a BartPE or other boot CD.
