Hello!
For the past month I am unable to disconnect a mapped
network drive on my Windows XP Pro SP1 notebook. Every
time I right mouse click and try disconnect, or if I
go to Tools.Disconnect Network Drive, I select one,
click OK and nothing happens. There is no error displayed.
I have 5 mapped drives that I am unable to disconnect, as
I no longer need those connections. On the same token, I
am now unable to connect to a new drive either.
I have researched everything that Microsoft is
offering, newsgroups, books, support site you name it.
I only found one article that is similar to my
experience, but applies only to NT4 (172975), and in a
particular situation. I can't use it, but the
description of the symptoms applies to my system too.
I called Microsoft's support line and learned that if I
need help with something like this, I need to pay 245$ for
professional services, as opposed to $35, for personal
support.
This is strictly an XP issue, where 4-5 drives that are no
longer connected remain in my Windows Explorer and I
am unable to disconnect them.
I can not afford $245 for this issue, but I need to solve
it and the only alternative left right now, is to wipe out
my drive and restart XP again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
