    Network Drive not Connecting on boot


    Hello all.

    I have several network drives from my nas mapped to my pc.

    When ever I start my pc I get a message saying could not connect to all network drives.

    If I open My computer the drives have a big red X on them, if I select one of the drives I can access it straight away without entering any credentionals.

    I need them to connect automatically as this pc is used as a HTPC and all my meda is on my mapped drives.

    Cheers.

    Tom.

    Thank you for your reply, sadly this didnt have any effect.

    Just to make sure I set it up correctly here is the path.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControl/Control/NetworkProvider

    Name: RestoreConnection
    Value: Reg_Dword, Hexidecimal, 1

    Disconnect your mapped drives and then re-map.
