Maximum number of connections exceeded

Maximum number of connections exceeded is the message I get when trying to map a 5th machine to the same network drive.  I understand that the limit is 10, so there may be "old" connections to this drive that are taking up space.  How do I find what is mapped to the host drive and disconnect the connections I don't want?

Hi!

Which OS exactly? Windows XP Home Edition allows 5 concurrent connections, Professional allow 10.

The OS is XP Pro, so 10 should be the magic number.  I'll have to try jahboite's solution, thanx
There was a situation where on XP computer would connect to another computer with multiple connections, but this behaviuor was corrected with hotfix. Are your computers fully patched?

I don't have a My Computer icon on the desktop to right click.  Is there another way to get to "Manage" or "expand Shared Folders"  ?
