How to automatically re-connect to network drive after booting ?

[Wolfgang Hercker]

On some WinXP computers I have seen that they automatically try to re-connect to netdwork drives
(read: to shared folders on other remote computers) just after booting.

A dialog pops up requesting for login name and password to the network folder (in WinExplorer).

How do I enable (or disable) this automatic re-connect feature ?
Is this a setting of WinExplorer or of WinXP ?

Open a commandprompt and issue:

net use /persistent:no

and

net use * /delete /yes

if you want to remove all shares.

net /? for more information.

In MY COMPUTERS, TOOLS, MAP NETWORK DRIVES, there is a checkbox to
re-connect at logon. Is that what you are looking for.
