Phantom Remote Drive connection 1

[stfaprc]

I have a drive letter attached to a share on the LAN and that shows up in the explorere screen as a 'Remote Drive'

When I do a "net use", the connection does not show.
But when I try a net use * /d I get prompted 'active connections, are you sure you want to delete'

I tried rebooting the pc while the remote pc was turned off, but that didn't help.

How can I remove this Drive Mapping to the remote pc ?

Check that you don't have it being mapped by a logon script somewhere.

I would also have a look in the network drive mapping gui to see if it set there as a reconnect on logon.

it does not show in gui as a mapped network drive, rather as a remote disk.

Have a look at this page and let me know if it's what you're after.

Alternately;

- The drive may be a SUBSTituted drive that has been created by using the SUBST command. Try typing SUBST and press ENTER to see if there are any substituted drives

- It could also be possible that you have device on your machine like a virtual CD-ROM/DVD drive that is associated to a remote management card (like HP RILO, IBM RSA, SUN ALOM)

- Drive letter could also be associated to an application like Exchange and its M: drive for the message store
