I've never run across this before, at least not to this degree. Occasionally in Win2000 or XP I'd forget to delete a temporary network drive when I was through using it, and upon restarting would get a message "Windows can not connect to the network drive" or similar. Deleting after the fact fixed it.

My wife's laptop has Win7 on it, and apparently at some point in the past she had created a network drive. It's long gone now. The only drives showing in Disk Management are C:\ (Win7), D:\ (Storage) and E:\ (DVD/CD drive). I find no evidence of any network drive, yet upon every startup there's an icon in the notification area with the above unable-to-connect message. I've even changed the network name, hoping to clear the network connections cache, but no luck. I find nothing in the Boot tab of msconfig, either.

Anyone have a suggestion for getting rid of this?
