Keep in mind, that even if you do a net use drive: /delete, the Explorer will 
still show the drive mapping from it's cache, and won't remove it 
automatically. Windows cache's drive mappings across reboots, even if you 
have told it to remove them. It won't stop attempting to connect until you 
click the don't map this drive anymore option on a reboot "failed" to connect 
startup. So to truly get rid of a drive mapping is a pain, at least in 2k and 
up.   I have drive mappings show up in "My Network Places" for shares that 
haven't existed in two years, nor have they been connected to.
