Disconnected drives - ever solved?

[deesloop]

I am unlucky enough to have the XP disconnected Network drive problem.
I have 3 servers and 3 a share on each. Login script uses

net use f: /delete to remove existing connections and
net use f: \\server to create

Worked once everyting fine.
Logoff and on, all drives described as diconnected. But they aren't
Did the net config server thing but no joy.
Interesting I cant use net use delete as it says connot find/
but I cant use net use f:\ as it says already i nuse.
Net use lists no drives, and right click, disconnecte in explorer is a no goer.

I have senn hundereds of posts on this butn o answers....

Well, here you go. This is the goofiest thing that I have
seen, but I have been experiencing it as well. Here is the
tech doc describing it.

Basically, in order for you to get rid of it, you have to
use the AT command to schedule a job to disconnect it,
then it goes away, and you can re-map it.

AT 12:00 net use r: /d
with 12:00 being the time you want it to run, and r: being
the appropriate drive letter.

I believe that the only reason this occurs is because the
drive mapping is done at a dos prompt or a batch file.

But don't worry, as soon as you re-map the drive in dos or
a batch file and reboot the machine, it will come back up
as disconnected.

Good luck
