I am using Windows 8 (x64) and when I am at work I have access to a folder on the network that is at \\foo\bar.
I have mapped this to a drive (J:) but whenever the PC connects to another network it attempts to reconnect this mapped drive.
Is there any way I can set the drive to only connect if connected to a specific network?
Should I be connecting to it in some way other than drive mapping?

As random as this sounds, what's the make and Model? Some vendors have software for their docks that can kinda sorta do some stuff like this. – MDT Guy – 2013-03-19T14:22:26.193
The only way I can think of is to use a "Net Use" Script that's conditioned to run only at work. Now, the question is how can you identify this network? – EliadTech – 2013-03-19T16:31:08.543

@EliadTech : Okey Doke, if there isnt a standard way of doing this I can live with the pop-up just thought I was doing somehting stupid and there might have been a better way. Thanks though! – Toby – 2013-03-19T18:30:01.607
there is (sorta) check out Lenovo's docking software, that's a start, there's gotta be a way you can kick off something from there. You have a dock right? – MDT Guy – 2013-03-19T18:46:59.710
1wait, wait, wait, just use a logon script, but have it set to only map when you're connected. make the logoff script unmap it, done and done. – MDT Guy – 2013-03-19T18:55:47.707
