removing mapped drives

I have logon scripts in place that map drives for each user. However, if they logon once and receive an R and S drive (for example) and I later change the script to map S to a different drive, instead of mapping the new drive it just says, "Error. S is already in use" (or something like that) and then leaves the old mapping in place. So, the question is, how do I clear old mappings out?? (with a script that is, not by manually clicking "Disconnect Network Drive."

If the auto mapping occurs everytime the user logs on, you can write the script so the mapping doesn't try to reconnect at logon, giving the drive letters a fresh start each time. At the end of the net use command, add /persistent:no. This would be the same as leaving the Reconnect at Logon box unchecked when you map a drive in NT.
