Windows XP SR2.

I have some network drives that are mapped on logon. At present when I
briong up My Computer, they show as "Disconnected Network Drive (G:)" (I see
the same for drive H: and J: as well). However, when I double-click the
icons, the network drive opens up just fine. I want to reset them so I do
not see the "Disconnected" message any more. However, I cannot disconnect
them (as I am told they are already disconnected) nor can I remap them (since
those drive letters are not available to map). How can I reset this mess?

to my post here, with the various responces, One might work for you.
