I sometimes get the following error when trying to delete a mapped drive from within a batch file. There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the connection to w: Is it OK to continue disconnecting and force them closed? (Y/N) [N]: There are no open files on w: and if there are incomplete directory searches, I sure don't know about them. How can I force the delete of this drive and continue on without user intervention?

Disconnect the network drive you want to delete first by right clicking my computer and choosing disconnect network drive. Give this a try.

This has to be as user friendly as possible, so this isn't really an option. Everything has to be automated from within the batch file.

Hi Greg: Why not have the batch file first disconnect the network drive, then delete it? Shouldn't be that hard to do. Good Luck

Change to an other drive before disconncting. i.e. insert: c: before: net use w: /delete

How do I disconnect the drive before deleting it?

I had the same problem and fixed it by adding the /yes switch to the delete portion of the login script. eg. net use h: /delete /yes this seems to work....
