Network Share Drive Letters Disappearing

I haven't found a solution to this yet:

I have 2 network driver established. They reconnect during reboots and are accessible fine.

For some reason they stopped being visible in explorer until I explicitly go to them by enteing the letter in the address bar. Then one or both with show up (usually just the one I put in)

I also have an internet webdav drive that also does not show up until i put it's letter in the address bar.

If I use applications to access the letters, they show up ok in that application's file open/save box.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Marc,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm not sure, but you might check to see if it is hopefully something as simple as what is in this tutorial. Try the one in the NOTE too.

Driver Letters - Show or Remove

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Unfortunately not. It's not just the drive letter not showing, the entire drive does not show. Although I didn't know that was an option..

Thanks,

Do you remember if you installed any special applications when this problem occured?
