Yep - in my [very weird] experiences with what I described on x64 systems the persistence would be (mostly - but depending on the context) foobar'd.
Just for giggles, give this a shot: Run an elevated and non-elevated CMD window, then remove the mapping via CMD line (NET USE /DELETE) in both contexts. If you still see a mapping in Explorer, disconnect it via the GUI. Then, reboot. -- Espi On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 12:40 PM, Bill Humphries <[email protected]> wrote: > These should be mapped by GPO.
