View 3 RepliesMy office has a number of mapped network drives for each user which, unfortunately, start at drive letter F.Each time a USB device is used on the computer it is also automatically assigned the drive letter F (presuming that C is hard disk and D and E are CD/DVD drives). This has to be manually changed from within Disk Management.Apparently this is as a result of physical drives taking precedent over the mapped network drives.Is there any workaround for this other than moving the mapped drive letters further along in the alphabet? - this is not really a feasible solution at this time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedA laptop has 5 mapped drives which are only used on the office. Offline files is not an option. When a user on the road clicks on a mapped drive by mistake, the explorer window locks up while it tries to find it.
Instead of doing something sensible like taking the explorer window to C: drive or desktop, it goes to the next drive letter. Of course this is also unavailable. So the machine is essentially unusable for about 5 minutes if the user mis-clicks once.
Can I recover messages I accidentally deleted in Outlook Express of Windows 2000XP? These messages were in their own file but somehow got moved to a subfile of the Deleted Items folder. In trying to removed the Deleted Items folder the sub-folder went with it. There were a large number of messages I had received via e-mail that I intended to keep.

I go into my computer and sure enough all my mapped drives show disconnected but when I try to open them they open just fine and I can see all the files on the mapped drive. What would cause this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't disconnect some drives that are mapped on a WinXP Pro workstation. I wanted to remove the drive mapping names as they were badly outdated and so deleted the registry key. where the entries were found and then rebooted.Now the connections show up as "Disconnected Network Drive" but all still work. However, I can't disconnect any of them and the "Disconnected Network Drive" will not update to the name of the machine/share even when I go into the share and use it. Really, this is a test machine because I wanted to apply a reg via policyto clear out the strings on logon/logoff so that these were fixed all over the company. I don't understand why this thing is misbehaving though, the key get's recreated and has the name of one machine, but not the others.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAn XP Pro SP3 workstation has a mapped drive (f which the workstation does not currently acknowledge as a mapped drive. If I issue a net use command the list reports 2 other properly networked drives, but not the F: drive. However, the F: is available in My Computer and is accessable. The user can run the server based app and make changes all day, but the next day all her changes are gone. To test, from her computer I created a new folder on the f: drive (\serverapps)and copied files into this new folder on the server. No other networked user can see the new folder. Then when I reboot her computer, the new folder is gone on her mapped drive. All other users are using the same mapped drive without issue. Does Windows cache mapped drive activity? I can not recreate the mapped drive because Windows doesn't acknowledge that it exists, but also reports that F: is not available. I can remap the connect using an alternate drive letter and it works properly. Is there a way to reset whatever part of Windows controls drive mapping?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSimple two station network, both XP Pro Sp2 boxes. I've mapped a folder from PC2 so that it appears as Drive Z: on PC1. However, when I open My Computer on PC1 the Z: drive isn't in the list. Interestingly, if I open a DOS window on PC1 and change directories to the Z: drive, the mapped folder on PC2 is accessible. DIR /P for example displays the directory.Why isn't the Z: drive showing up in My Computer?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a brand new install of XP Professional on a Dell with a 3.2Ghz CPU, with 1.5Gig of RAM in it. I setup a mapped drive to my file server from this XP workstation (all this is runing on my home network). As soon as I access this share and start to drill down through its folders, the CPU jumps to near 100%, rendering it useless. The task manager shows explorer.exe and system as being the two biggest resources of the CPU. If I close the share, the CPU doesn't let go. However, if I click on "disconnect" on that network drive, it lets go and returns to normal.I have disabled my anti virus and firewall to rule that out, but it keeps happening anyways. usually I just reboot to get back the CPU, but as I said above, last time I tried just disconnecting from the mapped drive, and that worked. What could be the issue? I never had any issues on my Windows 2000 machine accessing this same share, what could be XP's problem? I spent hours setting this machine up, but I am about ready to go back to 2000.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two computers on my LAN. I have a folder on one of the PCs(D:MP3s) that has about 40GB of music, etc. I shared this folder and on the other PC, I mapped a drive pointed at that folder.The problem is, some of the folders and files are not visible when I explore the mapped drive. For instance D: ockrian wilsonsmile appears on the first PC, but when I look in Z: ock (on the mapped drive on the second PC) the Brian Wilson folder is not present.I estimate the mapped drive only "sees" about half of what I have. Don't know what to make of it, really.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wrk for a company that has a server with Windows 2003. There are multiple 2000 and XP users who map drives from the server. Now here is where the problem begins. 2000 has no problms at all mapping drives. XP however has an issue with one folder. No matter what letter you pick, when you map the drive you get an error message "Setup requires a different version of windows. Check to make sure you are running setup on the Windows platform for which it is intended. Error 102" First of all im not running any type of setup. Im merely mapping a drive. This error occurs regardless of what drive letter you pick. And the really weird part, is once mapped the drive will open in Explorer or any other mode EXCEPT through My Computer and double clicking on the drive. If you right click the drive and hit open or explore, both will open the drive just fine. You double click and you get the error. When you right click the drive you also get an "autoplay" feature which makes no sense being its a folder on the server.
It acts like it has lost its association. Like if a JPG file is associated with nothing it wont open, but if you tell it to open with paint then it will. Its really weird and after weeks of searching i have found not a single similar problem to this one i can relate or get help from. It just plain makes no sense. I am going to unshare and reshare the folder when everyone leaves and see if that helps, but it works fine in 2000 currently and not in XP just in my computer.
I am using an xp machine for my server with mapped drives to the wwwroot on it. Several times, especially today, I will drop the mapped drive connection, and I am unable to remote desktop to the machine. When I switch my monitor over to the machine, the default screen saver is up.I have had to reboot the machine the last couple of times to get reconnected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having great difficulty with my current hard drive, a Maxtor 160GB 7200 drive. About a month ago, several folders began randomly turning into gibberish, and when I click on the folder, the amount of data listed is in the Gigabytes, instead of Megabytes. The corrupted folders could not be deleted, nor could the programs be removed. So, three weeks ago, I reinstalled Windows XP and re-formatted the partition on which these corrupted folders were located. For three weeks, things have been just fine. Today, however, when I tried to use Corel Quattro Pro, it would not work. Sure enough, the entire Corel folder has turned into unintelligible goo, and can not be deleted. At first, I thought a virus might be causing this random corruption. However, I now I suspect that this constitutes hard drive corruption, possibly early signs that hard drive failure is around the corner. One bit of information that I think I need to relay is that, in addition to Windows XP, I also run Windows 98 on this computer. None of the 7 partitions are over 20GB, however, so I wouldn't think that Windows 98 would have any trouble recognizing the data.
