Network Drive Notification
« on: March 25, 2015, 09:08:31 AM »
Quick and easy one:

How to I turn off notifications that Windows can not connect to network drives?

It's quite an annoying 50/50 chance of if the WiFi connects before Windows searches for the drives. Occasionally if there is a delay in assigning an address, the wired PCs come up with the message as well.

Probably you have noticed that Windows 7 will pop up annoying messages when not being able to reconnect network drives on boot. If for some reason they have to be unavailable you can disable pop up message using following registry change:

    Hive: HKEY _CURRENT_USER

    Key: Network

    Value Name: RestoreDiskChecked

    DWORD Value: 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled

you may have to create the RestoreDiskChecked Dword if it is not present.

Haven't tested but presumed fixed. I'll be back if it doesn't work.
