Unwanted mapped drives under NT 4.0

[Wolf Bergenheim]

Same here. When I had NT 4.0 server SP5 I had the same behavior. It was also
irregular. The problem was solved by updating to SP 6a, which works better
than SP5. The mapping went even further than just the free letters. when the
letters ran out, it still continued... :(
