A very common problem in school settings. In older systems this info was kept in the "AppleShare Prep" file (Preferences). OS 9 introduced a "Servers" subfolder of the System folder. Just trash everything in the Servers folder and restart. I always toss AppleShare Prep and AppleTalk Preferences as well to get a complete reset. I don't recommend using the automount checkboxes at all, unless your network and servers are very stable. You can quickly mount a previously mounted share under Apple Menu, Recent Servers. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
