Cannot Unmap (Disconnect) Network Drive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Windows XP. I have a mapped network drive that I cannot unmap. I originally
mapped the drive to point to a shared folder on one of my servers. For some
reason, it now points to another server. When I try to disconnect the drive
I get the message:

The network connection could not be found.

However, when I double-click the drive it comes up in explorer, and I am in
a folder on a server that is different than the one originally mapped. The
drive name is displayed as "Disconnected Network Drive (H". How may I
disconnect this drive so that I can remap it correctly? Thanks for the help.

I did all the things you suggested, and none immediately resolved the
problem. However, once I rebooted, the errant drive was gone. Thus, one or
more of your tips plus the reboot did the trick.. Thanks and God bless for
helping.
