I have a number of mapped network drives from a Windows XP Pro computer to a
server. Most of the time, the server that contain the shares to which these
maps connect are not on line. This means that my XP computer takes forever
to proceed through the timeout process for these network mapped drives at
logon.
Does anyone know the setting or registry key that will tell XP to only
attempt to make the connection when the drive is needed instead of at logon?
I remember that in older Windows OSes, you could check a box to tell Windows
to either make the mapped connections at logon or when the mapped drive was
accessed.
Thanks
