"net use z: /d" will also work and save a few keystrokes as well... – user48838 Oct 14 '10 at 01:27

Ignacio answered the immediate problem, but one hint: There is a /help parameter for any subprogram of the net command. So, net use /help shows you everything you need to know for connecting to network resources, and with net /help you get an overview of the complete program.

for some reason i didn't know how to google this one. i assumed it would be "net unuse" or "net remove" or something. but "net remove windows" gave not so good results – Claudiu Oct 13 '10 at 18:17
