Re: disconnecting non-existent network drives



From the command prompt type "net use X: /delete" where X is the drive
you want to disconnect. Also, drive mappings are not stored in the
registry, they're in the Nethood configuration files.

our old network was having issues mainly due to lag (trying to access
network drives from remote pcs) so we wiped the primary PC, and setup a
new
network on it; However now the remaining computers on this network are
still
listing the old previous network drives. I cannot "disconnect" these
drives
because i recieve an error message telling me this drive is not on a
network,
and there is no option to delete it or remove it at all;

when i open windows explorer, listed under my cd-rom drive are 3 drive
letters: J: , O:, and Y:

there are no drives for these letters on the network; the network these
reflect is gone.

i am hesitate to assign a new drive letter on the remaning pcs as it may
conflict with old non existing letters.



i have searched thru the registry for information to remove or disconnect
these non-existant network drives but nothing showed up.
