Slow logon with unavailable network drive

Hi,

I use a Windows 7 64bit laptop to work, so I mapped a network drive which isnt always available.
I want a way to keep my maped network drive and not have a slow logon (about 10 seconds) when the drive is unavailable

I appreciate the tip, but I have tried that before and I prefer the slow logon over having to click the icons.

Also need this for my desktop, which is even worse than the notebook because the desktop always has the network cable plugged. While the laptop, if I type in the password really fast after booting, it doesnt have time to connect to the wireless so the logon is fast.
If it is a persistent drive mapping it will always try to connect at logon and there will be a delay until it times out.

Yes Robwil I noticed that.
I want maybe a regfix to decrease the timeout value, or a even disable the reconnect at logon (without removing the drive)

Well the script works, but its not what I wanted, probably because it is not possible at all.
How do I assign points in this case?
Not possible, is often the correct answer  :-)
