Map Drives do not show in my Computer
I have been having a problem with explorer.exe and network drive mappings
I am using Windows XP Pro SP1
Symptoms:
1. Some times I can not see network drive letter in Explorer windows
2. In the address field I can type the drive letter then it shows the contents of that drive.
3. If I try to do any file modifications on that drive through the explorer window and it has a long file name I get an error about “The drive that this file or folder is stored on does not allow long file names, or names containing blanks or any of the following characters: \/:,;*?”<>|” If I copy a file with a long file name to the drive it truncates the name.
4. Drive is visible and works fine in command shell or from any other application (MS Word, Excel)
5. This problem is inconsistent but happens frequently
6. To resolve the problem I do an end – task to explorer.exe then execute explorer.exe from the run.
