Recently all my drive letters are automatically being used from a-z even though I only have a few assigned. I delete 20 duplications linked to the same place and the next reboot takes me back to all drive letters used. I can view through Windows Explorer or Total Commander with same problem. My PC is a couple years old with no hardware changes since purchased and is one of six on a ethernet cable network using Windows 2000 Professional Server.
Are you sure these are not shared drives that are being reinstated every time you reboot and you are not just disconnecting them instead of deleting them. Stuart
both Explorer and Commander call the option to 'disconnect' the network drive. neither shows an option to delete the drive. this problem did not used to happen. could I have recently checked a box somewhere to cause this?
What service pack are you on? I seem to recall a bug in the indexing service that did as you describe.
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600

>Disconnect = delete the mapping ... don't see the problem. You can always use a basic OS command to delete all in one go:
Start \ run \ cmd \ net use * /DELETE
