I am experiencing an issue with several computers where a drive that is
mapped to a share on another computer normally shows up in My Computer as:

(Share Name) on  '(Server Name)' (F:)

but for some reason it changes to:

'Disconnected Network Drive' (F:)

I can still access the share and see all of the files on it, but there are a
couple programs that seem to lose thier way when this happens and it causes
all sorts of issues.  Has anyone ever seen this before?

Yes, this is a standard problem, and there is a registry fix for it, which
you apply to the server.
