Orphan Mapped/Local drives

[global_dev]

I used to have 2 mapped (Y & Z)drives to NAS. The NAS went offline and the mapped drives went strange. They no longer exist as mapped network drives but continue show up in explorer "My computer". If i try to disconnect the drives with gui then it tells me nothing is mapped.

I try (from cmd) <net use> and variant options like /delete to see mapped drives and again nothing is mapped (makes sense)..

Opening them gives an error that says the server is not up or the data has been moved. I can map to the new NAS with other letters than Y,Z., but when i try to map to Y,Z I get a screen flicker and back to the map dialogue with no change.

I looked in the registry at Win XP registry

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\##ComputerName#ShareName

_LabelFromReg=<description of drive mapping>

(string REG_SZ)

When I deleted these keys, the mapped drives showed up in explorer as unnamed local drives (makes sense since there are no more descriptions for the map and name).

However, these unnamed "local" are also not desired. I had read that maybe SAV 10 may have something to do with this and I booted up in safe with networking with minimal services and they were not there. but back into regular mode and they are still there....

any suggestions on how to remove the mapped/local orphan drives?

thanks for the help....
