This works perfectly. Also good to have a quick method for adding back network drives that (for whatever reason) get lost.<br />

Thanks!

I have a work laptop computer that is mapped to 8 network drives. I can't change that, it's set by IT. <br />
<br />
Problem is when I boot when not connected to the network, it takes about 30 seconds for W7 to give up looking for a network drive. That's 8 drives 30 secs each or about 4 minutes of wasted boot time. <br />
<br />
How can I set it to give up (timeout) faster? 10 sec? I've googled high and low for an answer and it doesn't look like there is a setting for that. Is there?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
