Cannot mount network drives - drive letters not available
Hi
I have a strange problem. I have some harddrives on a "server" computer in my homenetwork running win 7. From my "client" running windows 10 I am mounting these drives using
psexec \\server -u username -p password -d net share F=F:\ /GRANT:user,Full /GRANT:media,read 2>nul
net use F: \\server\F
Today my client crashed and I had to remove the graphics card. Since then I cannot enter my network drives anymore, the commands seem to run, but when I try accessing the drives I get a message indicating I should put a media into these drives. Also, I cannot mount them manually using "map network drive" since the drive letters are not available. I tried removing them from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices (they are listed there as "\DosDevices\F" etc.), but once I restart, they are there (in the registry) again.
Any idea how I could fix this? Win10 somehow seems to remember that thes drives once have been there before and keeps blocking the drive letters...
