| How do I prevent XP from "auto mapping" network drives? This is an example of XP's and M$'s pain-in-the-a--s--s pretend improvements. ![]() I just noticed that when I access another computer's hard drive partition over the LAN, it shows up as a newly added line item under "My Network Places" in the Explorer folder tree. I don't want it to show up automatically if and whenever I access a file over the LAN. If I access something a lot, I'll map it. Otherwise I'll get it through "Entire Network". So how do I prevent this "auto mapping" from clogging up my tree with every obscure partition on my LAN? ![]() __________________ Asus X48 Rampage Formula / Intel Q9450 2.66 @ 3.2 / 2 x 2GB OCZ Reaper HPC PC2 8500 / VisionTek Radeon HD3870X2 OverClocked Edition / 24" DeLL Ultrasharp 2408WFP monitor / Western Digital Raptor X Hard Drive / Two Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD5001ABYS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drives / Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Elite Pro 7.1 / Creative Gigaworks S750 7.1 Speaker System / Lian Li 343B cube case / PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Crossfire Edition / IOGEAR GCS1782 GCS1782 Dual-Link DVI KVMP switch with 7.1 audio |
