I'd like my shared drives to not connect until I need them

Hi all,

I hope a nice guru can answer my question.

I have switched to wireless networking recently and now I get the "An error
occurred while reconnecting G: to..." error every time I start Windows,
because I'm not connected to
my LAN until I login and run the wireless app.
I don't want to turn off "Reconnect at login" because then I'll have to
remap my drives every time I reboot.

I remember a Windows option from a while back so that your drives do not
reconnect until you access them, but I can't find it now in Win2000.

Can somebody tell me how to suppress that error without unmapping my drives?

Thanks,
Barry
 
I'd put a batch file on the desktop, and run it when you're connected.

net use x: \\servername\sharename /persistent:no
etc.
