Running some VB logon scripts for users to map a few drives. Yes I should be 
using GPP.  XP has always been a pain when changing an existing mapped drive, 
the old ones just don't go away and the new one does not overwrite them.


Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "Z:"
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Z:", "\\Server\PublicFiles"


The Z drive won't hit \\server\PublicFiles  it will still be point at the old 
location.  Any empty drives that I map show up fine, lots of other stuff in the 
script that is working. However if I hit a command prompt and type   net use t: 
/delete  and then reboot everything is fine.  There is a very good possibility 
that before my time this mapping in question was created with

net use t: \\share /persistent:yes

in a bat file.
