We are experiencing the following problem:

When making a mapped network drive and requiring teh Reconnect At
Startup option this does not work. When restarting Windows XP the
mapped drive is not available for programs, but when trying in Eplorer
the drive is available

I know several other people had this problem as following postings
show:

http://groups.google.be/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web/browse_thread/thread/d8c550215faefc83/b9e6670aac5eecd0

I was wondering if this problem allready got solved in a Service Pack
or something? I couldn't find anything about Microsoft having solved
this problem.


Thanks,

"Reconnect at startup" works fine for me.  If it doesn't for you then I'd
put a batch file in the All Users\Startup menu to un-map and re-map network
drives.

That is what we did.
However, there seems to be a problem here, and as shown by the links in
my original post we are not the only ones experiencing it.

So I was wondering if Microsoft allready solved it officialy in some
service pack or other fix.
