Default Mysterious Drive Connection


Recently we have installed a new server and put it in our (AD) domain.
We also created a new user. While we use scripts to connect to drives
and this user should not get any network connections this user got one
(q which according to the scripts he should NOT have gotten.

Opened NTUSER.DAT on the domain controller's 'Default User'
(C:\Documents and Settings\Default User) and attempted to find this
drive. (no luck here) The normal profile path is D:\profiles (which is
shared as <server>\profiles) there is no "Default User" in this path,
so I assumed these settings would come from the Default User on the
C-disk (?)

Anyone any idea where this mysterious Q: drive comes from and how we
can remove it from being connected by default?
