network drives

I have Windows 7 in my office. We have Windows domain. I have created several drive mappings to shared drives. They used to work. Now, whenever I reboot my PC, they have red x on them. I can click them and reactivate them but when I shutdown and power backup or restart...they go red x...

New to the forums but I have no clue what is going on here... I am using Win 7 Pro x32. When I use RDP to connect to another computer, I noticed that on the remote computer (sometimes) as well as on my local machine (always), it creates a "Z:" drive. It isn't like a mapped network drive though...

Windows 7 File Search Indexing Options The built-in search feature in Windows 7 is significantly better than the horrible search options in Windows XP. Instead of installing a third-party program like Google Desktop to search for files on inside files on your computer, you can now do it with...

I got a new laptop today and the dude at the computer store had set up my account which is showing as my name and it says that it the administrator. There is only one user account that I can see. This is my virgin foray into Windows 7. I managed to get it to read the drives on my home...

I'm having issues mapping my network drive. It was once mapped and now it isn't. when asking for the PW, I put it in and it says the server rejects it yet I had it verified. The domain it likes to popup is for the laptop not for the actual server. How do i resolve this? I do openvpn in if that...

Win7 takes a giant leap backward-- you can't index network drives! XP's desktop search did this fine. Googling shows Vista had a patch to fix this-- but not Windows 7. I tried loading my networked music in Windows Media Center, which makes it show up in my Music Library, but it's still not...

I successfully installed Windows 7 on my computer this week, but the computer sometimes loses contact with my Western Digital Mirror 2 terabyte hard drive. When this happens, I restart the computer, and the drive usually reappears. I contacted Western Digital support, and they said this drive...

I recently switched a netbook computer on our LAN from XP (on which all machines had been) to Win 7rc (x86). No other settings or configurations on the network have changed, but the netbook suddenly can't fully connect to the Synology network drive. All the other computers on the network still...

I've been running Win 7 now for a couple of weeks and have had no serious problems. The one thing I have been seeing has been with our domain group policies. We are running a 2003 domain and have set group policy to map drives on boot up and warn users when that their password is about to...

Every now and then I will "lose" all of my network drives. Ending explorer.exe and reloading it always fixes the problem. Does it forget about my drives or something?! :o I have seen this once before in my life with XP, but since moving to 7, it has been a semi-regular occurrence (once a week...

Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is this an area for improvement in the final version. I really like the idea of Libraries. I have a LOT of photos and music on a NAS drive. Apparently, the only way to index the NAS drive is to make it available offline which, by definition...

OMG so I saw the box and ignored it. Then I decided to give them a try. I love it, how useful to have all your stuff groups together over various folders and network drives eh! I'm so liking w7 :)
