Hidden duplicate network drives without assigned letter

[Kevin Findley]

I have a computer at work that is connected to duplicate mapped drives. We discovered a network path error when trying to make relative links in Acrobat. The computer folder showed all the correct network paths. When I used the 'net use' command in cmd it showed duplicate mapped drives without out assigned letters that didn't appear in the GUI. Below is an example (Leaving out most of the drive names for security purposes). The two drives at the bottom are duplicates of the P: drive. I deleted these duplicates in in the cmd window, but it has happened again and we can't figure it out. Can anyone tell me why?

Status Local Remote Network

OK P: \\p GING Microsoft Windows Network
OK R: \\p Microsoft Windows Network
OK S: \\P Microsoft Windows Network
OK W: \\c Microsoft Windows Network
OK Y: \\p Microsoft Windows Network
OK \\p GING Microsoft Windows Network
OK \\p GING Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.



Thanks,

Kevin
