Mapped Network Drive Brings up Open With Dialog
Hi, I am running Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 server. One computer (out of about a dozen) on the network has this problem. When you double-click on the network drive to open it, it brings up the open with dialog box.
Hi,
I am running Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 server. One computer (out of about a dozen) on the network has this problem. When you double-click on the network drive to open it, it brings up the open with dialog box. You can right-click and choose either open or explore and it works normally, also the same drive mapped on other computers works normally. There was a autorun.inf in the file, but it has been removed and the problem persists, any suggestions?

A friend found a solution for my issue, maybe it will work for you. In the registry editor I did a search for a key called MountPoints2. Under that key are listed mapped resources, and a subkey to the one in question there was a _Autoplay and a Shell key. After deleting both keys and saving the registry, it worked as normal.
Just a FYI - I had a customer come across this a while back and the suggestion that 'kwd' suggested worked for her. Good call.
