Repeated drive mappings

Win NT 4.0 SP 5.0 user logs in and all the proper network drives are mounted properly. As the day goes on each available drive letter will be mapped to his network home directory until all drive letters are mapped. This process usually takes 3-5 hours to complete. I have disconnected all the redundant drives and they return again. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to stop it?

It's a persistent connection of some kind, I do not know the cause though.
Try in the dos command the following:
net use (driveletter) /d
This should remove it.
Hope this helped.

This could be caused by Microsoft's FindFast. Check to see if it's running. If so, stop it.

if you are using login scripts to map drives, it could also a good idea to remove all mappings first, before each drive letter is assigned. eg
net use f: /delete >NULL
net use f: \\server\directory
