Try right-clicking and choosing "Disconnect"?

run regedit, (start>run, type "regedit.exe", hit enter)

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network folder (called a key but it looks like a folder).

Expand that and see if K is listed. If there's a K folder/key try right clicking it and deleting it. Then you should probably reboot your machine.

fuck man. i get all happy after reading that post. thinking 1 of those 2 things has to work. well the installer package thing from microsoft says it can't install(tried downloading it again just to make sure it wasnt corrupt) and under the network folder theres no entry with 'k'...just says "default"

OK, this sounds ridiculous, but give it a try:

Quote :

"This works on XP and I guess a similar procedure will work in Vista... First, you need have a "Shared Folder" on your hard drive. If you haven't got one already, create a new folder on your hard drive called "Shared", then right-click it and select properties. Click the Sharing tab and tick the "Share this folder" box. Next, click "My Computer" and in the Tools Menu, click "Map Network Drive". Notice the little down-arrow next to the drive letter shown. Click the arrow to get a list of letters. Select the one you want to delete, then browse for your Shared folder and select it. By this means, you will assign the drive letter to a real folder. Make sure the "reconnect at login" box is un-ticked. Click the Finish button to get a warning. Answer YES and the Shared folder will open. Close it. Next, right-click the drive in My Computer and select disconnect. Ah, I hear you say, but it is still there! Re-boot and have another look - enjoy! Ted "
