I went to the settings, and I put in the name of the share and that seem to have worked. Will try on a few other machines but I think this is the answer.

If yo go that route take a look at the security issues if you do disable them. ________________________________ From: Kennedy, Jim [kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2012 9:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: network drives show disconnected W7 and XP Kind of sounds like this one.

The W7 box has the xp shares mapped. Upon reboot the drives show disconnected until you open it manually. Anyway to get it to not disconnect? There is an app that used the mapped drive letter and it wont run till that drive is "connected" I've tried to turn off UAC. - no luck I've tried net config server /autodisconnect:-1 - noluck I can do a batch script to map each time at login but prefer not to. Any suggestions?
