XP Mapped drives notification.

[Jason]

This may just be a petty gripe, but is there a way to turn
off the "Could not reconnect all network drives"
notification that pops up when I log in?

I already know those drives can't be reconnected
automatically. I don't need the constant reminder.

add "echo off" on your logon batch file.

Start regedit>go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\Advanced
Create a DWORD value called "EnableBalloonTips", withouth
the " ". That stops all popup notification, real nice.

Well, I can't help with the actual notification, but I can help prevent that notification in the first place. In 2K, you would get prompted for passwords for those connections. XP incorporated "Fast Logon Option" and bypasses that step. You can make XP act like 2K, and prompt for passwords, by disabling Fast Logon.
