We are slowly introducing Vista Business into our environment. I have set
up a test computer to work through issues that arise. Yesterday, I created
my profile on the Vista computer and mapped a drive to my personal data
folder on our fileserver. This morning, the folder name for my personal
folder changed to another user's name, but the share name remained
unchanged. Also, the security remained intact.

This renaming of folders has happened before, but I just realized this
morning that it was caused by the drive mapping on the Vista Business
computer.

Any ideas on why this is happening and how to stop the folders from being
renamed?

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is the sort of hassle you get with networking Vista, for no real
advantage. Check to see what the folders are called at the Command Line. I
think contained hidden desktop.ini files giving them 'friendly names', if it
is anything like the problem I had with folder redirection. But I cannot
really visualise what you are describing - it could be something to do with
the wrong drive being mapped when reconnection. Either way, you can found
out from command line.
