Map network drive and NOT have them update in my computer...

I have 4 mapped drives on my computer that I use often from my school. I am stuck in a shitty building far away from the servers so the latancy is extreamly high. Whenever I view my computer, the system hangs for a while, sometimes it's VERY annoying.

Is there away to keep the drives mapped but have them not look up the drive size and other information so I can simply open up my computer w/o having to pull information from the drives every damn time?
 
Thanks!

OP
Nice tweak, but how bout the networked drives? Happen to have that hack on hand?
 
BTW, life at school has been great. I finally dropped my physics major and picked up an information systems major. Smartest move ever for me! Physics was work work work work work! I've also been focusing alot of my time on photography as you can see via my webpage www.arinahnell.com

APK, you are my hero. For YEARS I have beenterribly annoyed by win2k's browsing the network soo slow, waiting fr the stuff to come up.
 
I can'tt believe it has not been fixed in one of the service pack. It works SO much better now.
