Toolbars to Mapped Drives

[Robert Gile]

I have a tollbar or two that are to mapped drives. Why do they
disappear after every login? The name is still there but the >> to
show the files is gone. Anyone else running into this problem?

Hi Robert,

I don't have an answer to your question, but you could put a shortcut to the
mapped drives into the Quick Launch Toolbar instead.

This is likely because the shell is built before the network drives have
been reconnected and if the resources of that toolbar cease to exist, so too
does the toolbar. So when it kills that drive representation and re-creates
a new version it invalidates that toolbar. Bert's suggestion of a shortcut
would be best since a shortcut is a permanent .lnk file that points to that
resource and doesn't care if its target disappears and reappears.
