I've not seen an answer that hits my issue on the head. I've got one computer out of 60 that will not map one network drive. It actually maps but never shows up in Windows Explorer. I can Y: in the run box and get to the network resource. Reboot doesn't help. I've used usbdeview tool to see if some usb device had taken the drive letter and was causing conflict - nope. I logged into computer as a different user and the same issue persists. Maps but not visible in explorer. I've even plugged a usd drive into the computer, picked the same letter that will not map, and the usb drive will not show up too. Seems like one letter will not map on this one computer.
Help?

1Well. I went into local policy and checked "Hide these specified drive in My Computer" and it was set to not configured. I set it to disabled and the missing Y drive popped up in explorer. Domain policy should override local policy so I don't know how this got f-ed up. – Chuck – 2014-05-08T22:53:44.857

Probably there was a
– and31415 – 2014-05-08T23:03:30.567NoDrivesregistry value located atHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. Check if the issues reappears, and eventually use a monitoring tool such as Process Monitor to catch whatever is accessing the registry path mentioned before.
