I look after a small network that has a server with NT 4 SBS and one of the clients is running Win 95. There are 3 mapped drives. The problem is when the mapped drives are connected the Win 95 system will not shut down. When i manually disconnect these drives the system will shut down as normal. Does anyone know a fix for this problem so i dont have to teach the user how to manually disconnect these drives when they want to shut down.

If you don't upgrade your bound to live with problems of yesteryear. Easiest thing is to replace the network cards. One thing you can is put a script on thier desktop to disconnect then they can shutdown.

net use f: /delete
