Double clicking a mapped network drive opens up the "My Documents"Here's the info about the network:
- Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain controller. - All workstations are Win XP-SP3. - A Login script maps a shared folder on server to a network drive on stations. "Net use M: \\server1\shared" Couple of workstations when they try to open the network drive (M), it opens up the "My Documents" folder. I login as Administrator to those workstations and they behave the same. When I right click on the mapped drive I see "????(X)" for explore and "??(O)" for purgae options. If I open the network drive under the file explorer it works fine. I have ran antivirus and anti-spyware on these stations and they have come clean. I am clueless at this time. Any help would be appreciated. ~Ted In the command, run net use. Post back with the result.

find the server and access the shared drive that way, but double-clicking on the actual mapping in My Computer or Windows Explorer ALWAYS opens My Documents. Please update this discussion with a solution! Thank you.

if I go to my computer and then use the drop down menu it will work also but not by double clicking the link. I found the solution.
If you right click on the drive mapping you get those weird characters. You might also have as your first option to chose titled, "Auto Play" or "Auto Run." Open the registry and search for either Auto Play or Auto Run, press F3 to continue searching and you should eventually find a few folders that contain those unusual characters. Export the folder first for backup purposes, but after that just delete the unwanted entries. This worked for me.
