Re: Slow opening file dialog boxes on home network

This is quite normal behavior. Why are the shares not available, and
why not disconnect the mapped drives if so?

Sorry I was a bit cryptic. They are available when the machine (a
notebook) is in the office. They are not available at home (I was
hoping they would automatically disconnect).

net use x: /del

If you take this computer to different locations, use a batch file
to map drives - if you connect to a domain at work, the admins
should have set up a login script, perhaps as follows:

net use * /del
net use x: \\server\share1 /persistent:no
net use y: \\server\share2 /persistent:no
net use z: \\server\share3 /persistent:no

At the moment we have the shares on the server setup to be persistent
(due to some problems connecting to an old NT4 box in a different
domain). We will be changing that tomorrow. I will see if that solves
the problem (and will also try simply deleting the shares).

Thanks.

No prob - post back if you need anything more with this.
