Windows 2000 client will not release mapped drives. When trying to map a clients drive with their Id and [password "access is denied",my own ID and password a conflict exists telling me that the drive is already mapped. The drive is not listed inthe registry under hkey_current-user\network. I cannot remember the net use command any ideas??

from a command prompt do

net use

this will show all of the locally mapped drives. To get rid of them, either

net use 'driveletter' /d

or to get rid of all of them

net use * /d

Try running the net use command with the /delete switch with the persistent:no here is the command line parameters. you can also do a net /? to see the other commands you can run.

NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]
