At our firm we run about 600 workstations, mainly clients connected to Windows 2000 TS, bu
lately several run Windows XP Pro workstations. Our problem is that the mapped network drives
(\\server\homedir$\username mapped to o: and so) on seems to be invisible in the Explorerer
If we specify "o:" and other mapped drives directly in the address bar, the drive is shown as it should
This strange behaviour happens on Win XP only; 2000, 2000TS and 98 work fine. The drives are mapped in login-scripts with "net use ...". I've poked around Technet, MSDN, Google but no clue
I thought maybe enabling "open folders in separate process" would work, but no good

Help, any

Doesn't the $ in the share name indicate that it is a hidden share?

Try re-creating the same shared folder without the $ in the share name and
see if it is visible.
