Default Shut off auto reconnect network drive


On winxp map network drive is a checkbox to automatically connect drive
at login.

Where is the list of drives and how can you shut off that option on a
drive you no longer want auto connected?

I'd do this in a command prompt -

net use

tells you what's mapped.

net use * /del

deletes them all.

net use x: \\server\share \persistent:no

maps a drive but doesn't make it a persistent mapping.

Lanwench - Thanks for the tips.

Wound up being RAS when disconnected from network.

Deleted the address list and changed service from auto to manual.
