    Red X on mapped drive in windows 7 after restart

    Had a client with windows 7 32bit that always had a rex "x" on his mapped drives (Which linked to a computer with winxp) after a restart. You could accessed the drive through "My computer" On the win7 machine, But before you clicked the drive it showed an red "x" on it.

    It also didn't allow to run a shortcut on the desktop that was linked to a program that is located on the mapped drive unless you manually accessed it through "My computer" 1st.

    Tried every solution I could find on the net (Adding credentials through "credential manager" in the control panel, Mapping the drives via a batch and some other stuff I found), But this guy found the only solution that worked for me (The vbs script run at startup) :
