Mapped drives disconnect every night

[FKlassen]

Hello,

I have a PC in my small office group that has developed a strange problem.

It has four permanently mapped drives and sometime during the night they all
become disconnected.

This PC used to be my personal PC and I never had that problem so it would
seem that the person who uses it now has done something but I can't figure
out what he's done.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Is there any utility built onto XP that would allow me to see what goes on
during the hours after work and before 8:00 AM the next day? I have
looked at the event viewer but it really didn't shed any light on this
problem.

Tx.

FK

Hello,

Previous investigation had turned up the power save option and turning off
the feature has not solved the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
