Hi all,

I'm running windows 7 on 2 different machines, one is used as a file server. both are connected to a homegroup. a while ago I mapped some drives and folders from my file server to the network. all of a sudden these mapped drives and folders could no longer be read by the other computers. i tried just unmapping them , the computer says the folders/drives are no longer shared but on the other computer they still show up, but are still unavailable. I've tried restarting both computers and tried the NET USE/ PERSISTENT:NO command on both computers, they report back that the command was successful but they both still show the folders/drives even after rebooting both! how the heck do I get rid of these? is there a way to simply wipe all networked drives/folders out and redo them?

Right-click the mapped drive on the client and choose "disconnect".

tried that, butt and the drive does not show up on the File server, however the other computers still show the mapped folder/drive and when I try to map the same drive/folder again it tells me it's already mapped !?!?!?! **Rant on** I can fix other people's problems easily, butt I never seem to have simple problems with my own computers!! Drives me nuts!! **Rant Off** Thanks for posting =ACID RAIN=
