Is this for your company's property where you work (i.e., you are using
THEIR workstation)? If so, they are probably pushing a login script via
policy that issue the 'net' command to connect to a commonly used
networked drive. You will need to ask them if they can push a different
policy for whatever group you are in since you believe that this
networked resource is not required by any application running on their
workstation that you get to use or that you never need to access any
content that is shared on that networked resource. However, it is
likely that they push the policy for the login script to a large number
if not all of the company's employees so you'll get it everytime you
login into your domain account at work. That is, the IT folks are not
likely to bother making a change for one particular worker.
You could put a command in your Startup folder that disconnects from the
mapped drive. I believe you would use parameters to the 'net' command
but I don't have a mapped drive available on which to test what would be
the correct parameters. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308582 for
info on using the 'net' command to connect/disconnect from mapped
drives. Their login script would assign the mapping to the networked
drive and you would then unmap it. Of course, if you find that you
really do later need this mapping, you'll have to know what it was or
have to logout and login again to run the login script pushed by domain
policy.
