My laptop has disconnected network drive that doesn't go away. I open
My Computer. I see this drive (which is probably an SD slot on my
wireless HP printer) and it says disconnected. I try and remove it from
My Computer by going to Tools/Disconnect Network Drive or
right-clicking and selecting Disconnect. But it just won't go away from
the My Computer window. The reason, I am asking is because opening My
Computer is super slow now that this drive appeared.
 
Hmmph! That's worked for me when one decides not to go away. Try removing it in
the registry after first exporting the key/s. A search on the name of one of
mine gets the below keys and more.
