Already tried to do it. However the finish box is greyed out so nothing can be done.

If you can work with Regedit
Export(save) this subkey{D627............}and then delete.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}]
In Advanced enter a new name value "NoNetCrawling"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001

I went to registry and noticed there is a nonetcrawler folder under Explorer/Advanced
:
Explorer/Advanced/folder/netcrawler/policy/nonetcrawler
Value is default type Reg_SZ
Is this a different thing altogether?
I am no expert so any help will be highly appreciated.
Tks

Pardon a nonexpert question: are you saying that I should modify the "default"
and "REG_SZ " inside the folder called NoNetCrawling and replace it with Dword Value
=nonet crawling and set data to "1" ? ie
nonetcrawling reg_dword 0x00000001 (1)
Tks

Please disregard my previous posting. I messed up:
You advised to : make the following changes in HKEY _Current _user
In Advanced enter a new name value "NoNetCrawling"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001
This is actually already done when I checked the registry When I reported that its
not done , I was wrong . I looked in HKEY LOCAL Machine :(
So now all I have to do is this ?
Export(save) this subkey{D627............}and then delete.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}]
Tks

OK. I made the recommended changes and they have no effect. Windows still trying
to restore network connections.

I remapped the c drive on my other computer without checking the reconnect function.
This helped a bit.
There is still delay but that is probably windows trying to reconnect with the
network printer I still have the networked printer drive to unmap . Not sure if
I can reconnect again because I dont remember whether there is a user ID and password
associated with the printer:(
Tks
