| | Cant disconnect Network drive in vista :( Ive got a desktop pc with Vista ultimate and an acer laptop with xp installed. Computers were networked with a wireless router and i had network mapped the hard drive of my laptop on my pc. Than my Laptop had a major crash and i had to reinstall windows xp on it. The mapped network drive still appears in my computer with a red X over it. I try to disconnect the network drive and it wont let me. I get an error "This network connection does not exist" How can i get rid of the mapped network drive? Or even just delete it, Its a major Eyesore in My computer |
