Changing the time allowed to connect to a network drive

Lumeycom · 21 Jul 2011 at 19:40

Hi guys,

Cant seem to find this but its probably simple!

My laptop (win7 home premium 64bit) always displays a message of "cannot reconnect to some of your network drives" almost instantly and after about 15 seconds it connects just fine.

Is there a way to increase the default time windows has to reconnect before whinging it cannot?

Thanks

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you can in one of the policy settings, but I'm not sure you can do this in Home Premium and if there's a registry edit I don't know it. Does it still do the same if you hibernate?

seems to be

If that doesn't work make a batch script to map the drives and put it in a scheduled task to run with a delay at startup.
