Mapping a network drive

By Jeff.Gilden · 16 years ago

I have mapped a network drive to another computer in the office. Sometimes it will appear with a small red "X" on the drive. This is supposed to mean that it is disconnected. But it still connects. There is a program we use that looks for that X...is there any way to program the the "X" not to appear?

There is an autodisconnect setting. Check Microsoft with that keyword.
