From: msnews.microsoft.com on 27 Jun 2010 10:24 Sounds like you're describing that you see a drive like Z: which is a networked (mapped) drive pointing to a shared folder from another PC, right? If so, then you need to disconnect the drive. You can't delete networked drive connections. So right click on the drive icon and select "disconnect".

You want someone ELSE to understand your message.> Is this for your company's property where you work (i.e., you are using THEIR workstation)? If so, they are probably pushing a login script via policy that issue the 'net' command to connect to a commonly used networked drive. You will need to ask them if they can push a different policy for whatever group you are in since you believe that this networked resource is not required by any application running on their workstation that you get to use or that you never need to access any content that is shared on that networked resource. However, it is likely that they push the policy for the login script to a large number if not all of the company's employees so you'll get it everytime you login into your domain account at work. That is, the IT folks are not likely to bother making a change for one particular worker. You could put a command in your Startup folder that disconnects from the mapped drive. I believe you would use parameters to the 'net' command but I don't have a mapped drive available on which to test what would be the correct parameters. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308582 for info on using the 'net' command to connect/disconnect from mapped drives. Their login script would assign the mapping to the networked drive and you would then unmap it. Of course, if you find that you really do later need this mapping, you'll have to know what it was or have to logout and login again to run the login script pushed by domain policy.
