Hi,

In My Network Places, I have a connection set up to a folder on a SharePoint
Server site. After I boot up, I can click the folder in My Network Places
from within Windows Explorer. It asks for my credentials, and then I'm in
until the next reboot.

The problem is that once I've authenticated, my entire system is slowed
down. I'm not sure why that is so, but I thought that an easy fix would be to
disconnect (rather than having to reboot or just live with the slowness).
However, I can't find a way to disconnect.

Right-clicking the folder does not produce any Disconnect option (which does
exist on Windows Vista). Disconnect
Network Drive doesn't work because I haven't mapped to any drives.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try Right-clicking on "My Network Places", then select "Disconnect
Network Drive". All network connections will be shown even if it is
not associated with a drive.

If that doesn't work, bring up a command window and type "net use" to
show current network connections. Then,
net use <connection> /delete
will kill the connection.

HTH,

Right-clicking produced "You have no network drives to disconnect." The
command window produced:
New connections will not be remembered.
There are no entries in the list.

Strange.

I would conclude that you truly are disconnected.
If it really is a network issue, then disconnecting your network cable
should bring your speeds back to normal. Maybe it will stay that way
when you plug it back in.

I should have mentioned that this is not a direct connection. I'm working
from my home office, and the SharePoint site is in a data center somewhere.
My antivirus site (where the s/w downloads signatures from) shows up in My
Network Places also, without a Disconnect option. The strange thing is that
other people who are running Windows Vista get a Disconnect option by
right-clicking the SharePoint site folder. It shows up as a shortcut, if that
makes any difference.

I did attempt to disconnect my cable modem and then reconnect it, but the
problem persisted. I really am still connected no matter what I do. I
continue to be able to access everything in there until I reboot. Grr.
