I've set up two drive mappings on my Windows 8 machine to my NAS machine but they never stay when I reboot.
When I reboot or start my machine, the drive mappings show a red "X" beside them in Explorer, but when I just single click on them they open up as you would expect them to. From that point on, everything is good... until I reboot again.
I should mention that I also always get the yellow pop-up message (bottom left side) that says "Could not reconnect all network drives".
Until I manually click on the drives in Windows Explorer, my favorites won't show up in IE since I have my favorites located on one of the mapped drives (on my NAS). As soone as I click on the drive(s) in Windows Explorer, the favorites immediately show up in IE.
I've set them up using UNC and IP addresses (ie: \\192.168.0.100\sharename
So far, nothing 'sticks' and I can't seem to find an answer on the net.
Many suggestions seem to think the OS is trying to load the mapped drives before the network stuff is loaded. Since I'm booting from a SSD drive (8 seconds to boot up! yes!) then this makes sense.
I've also tried a net use command in the registry run to manually connect the shares each boot, but that gives me the same result.
Anyone have any ideas?
