Hi Brian,
You said "This worked on all my drives except network mapped drives that were loaded
from a login script."
Have you ever tried "USB multiple card reader" ?
I find this method can not work on "USB multiple card reader".
The USB multiple crad reader is declared as multiple LUN ( My card reader is 4 in
1, so, four drive icons suppose to be showed up on Explorer window)
