Hi

I have a problem with mapped network drives in Win2k Pro.
A while back I added a zip drive to my computer which automatically assigned
itself as the F drive.  This was one of my mapped drives and so I reassigned
the drive letter Y to the zip drive using the admin tools, computer
management, storage mmc.  This worked ok except that now my F drive always
has the red cross by it in explorer.  If I click on it then I can view the
contents of F even though it has a red cross.  But various applications that
use my mapped F drive report errors.  You can ignore the errors and they
still work but it is annoying to see the error message all the same.

Then I created another partition and sure enough all my mapped drives now
have a red cross.  They all still work but all have red crosses.  Has anyone
come across this or knows how to fix it?  Cheers.
