Temporarily Disconnect Drives
Win XP and / or Win 7 and ...
Many times I will be away from home with a desktop or one of many laptops and run into this. Apps starting up will get bogged down trying to access disconnected drives e.g. NAS pen, memory stick. Al assigned drive letters. I have seen the network get bogged down because the app is flailing the network trying to access a NAS. I have to disconnect it to stop it. Is there a way to temporarily tell Win not to include those drive letters in any search or whatever ? Disconnecting them means have to go through the process of connecting them as drive letters again. is this just bad Windows code ? ! |
