Map Drives 60 Seconds after Boot

Delay mounting network drive at boot

 

Try this

 

1.   Click Start, then type the three letters cmd into the Search box and press Enter.

2.   Type these commands and press Enter after each:

3.   net use /persistent:no

4.   net use * /del /yes

5.   notepad "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\netlogon.bat

6.   Type the following lines:

7.   @echo off

8.   set delay=60

9.   ping localhost -n %delay%

10.   net use E: "\\SomePC\SomeShare"

11.   Save and close the file

 

From now on your network connection(s) will be made 60 seconds (or whatever delay you set) after you log on. You must, of course, replace "SomePC" and "SomeShare" with actual names. You also need to be careful with your typing. The commands I used will not tolerate many variations.
