    Desktop Shortcuts to Mapped Drives Stop Working After a User Logs out


    Hello,

    I have a user that has a drive mapped to a folder on their server which functions properly...I then placed a short cut to this drive on the users desktop...The short cut will work for a day but then when the user tries to use the shortcut the next day she will double click on it the first time and get an error to the effect that the path to the mapped drive no longer exists (but it does and is present in File Explorer)...If the user double clicks the shortcut the second time it will open..

    I have created the shortcut by dragging it on to the desk top and also from Right Click on Desktop -> New -> Shortcut and then enter the file path in the corresponding field...These have both worked for a day as I said earlier but when the user logs out and comes in the next day they get the error that I described above...

    Any assistance would be appreciated...

    Thanks!!!

    If your mapping via cmd line add /persistent so it's remembered once you boot up it may take a few mins to reconnect
