Is there any way on the xp machine to edit a mapped drive?
I have about 10 mapped drives that went to server \\bob\work1....something like this
now everyone is \\fred\work1

the only think I know to do is delete the mapped drive and recreate it.

is there any way to edit ?

for 10 drives just drop to a command prompt and do so:

net use (to display everything).
Copy the core lines of the output to a text file. Paste into notepad.
Do a ctrl-H. Replace "OK" with "net use"
Do another ctrl-H. Replace "bob" with "fred"
Do another ctrl-H. Replace "microsoft windows network" with nothing.
Save as fixmysh1t.bat, run a "net use /d *" to clear everything then run the batch file.
