Re: Mapped network drives don't reconnect at logon

Yes, I've narrowed it down to the wireless card and/or driver because
the problem doesn't occur when using a hard wire. It's gotta be a
timing thing. Every Windows startup-time program is yelling "me first!"
and somebody's gotta lose. I wish there were a finer-grained way of
specifying who gets to go first. I need the wireless connection to be
up before Windows tries to reconnect mapped drives.

I use the mapped drives for purposes other than backup. (I'm using the
Iomega auto backup program which came with my NAS drive, and it works
well.) I also use the mapped drives for Quicken, which after all these
years still needs them to see network drives, and in some of my own
batch scripts. So I wish I could find a way to get the wireless card to
start sooner.

Thanks,
