When network drives are UNUSED for an extended period of time, they are getting disconnected...until...explicitly clicked in internet explorer or by moving to that drive
in DOS-Box. I'm using WinXP Pro - sp2.

Pls avoid replies like the following...
Set registry entry  'HKLM\......lanmanserver\parameters\autodisconnect to hi values
or
net config server  /autodisconnect:-1

I know them and IT IS *NOT WORKING*

Thanks.

Not totally related, but SP2 has been out of the support cycle (as in, no security updates) for 3 years. And maybe, just maybe, this is a bug solved after 2010 ?
