This is a known problem with running Find Fast on Windows NT when you have icons on the desktop that point to mapped drives. Check for FindFast in the Startup folder of the machines and remove it. Also, make sure that Find Fast is NOT set to run periodically on the machine and does NOT start up with Windows NT (there should be an icon in the Control Panel for Find Fast where you can set these options). Also make sure you are running NT 4.0 with a service pack level of 4 or higher - once or both of these should solve the problem. If it doesn't, I also have a registry change that can be made that will prevent this behavior - but I don't have the exact change at my fingertips at the moment. Let me know if you need it - dlane-olson@synoffsys.com. Hope this helps!
