Too many extra windows when mapping drives

Anytime I map a drive, it populates it into the windows explorer and then spawns a new window. I know this is a stupid question, but how do I prevent that extra window from popping up every time?

Use Personalized Menus is not checked.
Launch folder windows in a seperate process is not checked.
Open each folder in same window is selected.

 

try this

in windows explorer under the TOOLS menu choose FOLDER OPTIONS on the GENERAL tab choose OPEN EACH FOLDER IN SAME WINDOW



Let me know how it goes

Tek - I forgot to add that to the current settings. I already had that set. Any other ideas?

 

I don't know of any way to turn that function off, but I do know that if you map drives from the command prompt (net use) instead of the GUI, you don't get the spawned new window.

 

When mapping a drive, before you hit OK, hold the shift key down. That prevents the window of the mapped drive from popping up.

 

Hey, cool tip! Thanks!
