Windows only attempts to do this if you let it. Its behaviour is controlled
by issuing this command just once:
net use /persistent:no
or
net use /persistent:yes
To get rid of remembered connections, run these two commands just once:
net use /persistent:no
net use * /del
To seize control over your network connections, create a logon batch file
like this one:
@echo off
net use R: \\PC2\Share1
net use S: \\PC3\Share5
