That is one of the things I love about Windows Explorer - it's complete 
inability to handle delays.

Click on A: by mistake, when there's nothing in the drive, and 
essentially the entire Windows UI locks up until it has determined 
there's nothing in the drive. And I don't just mean the window in 
question. The start menu stops working, windows stop repainting 
themselves, virtually the entire damned OS locks up because of one 
stupid disk drive! WTF?

Anyway, as to *your* problem... The whole "it locks up for 20 seconds" 
deal reeks of "network timeout". BTW, does anybody know why network 
timeouts are always set to 7 minutes or something? I mean, if you 
haven't got a reply in 800 ms or so, it's *obvious* that you're never 
going to get one! Retry or give up. Don't sit there for 7 minutes waiting!

I presume you've tried unmapping the mapped drives. Is the laptop part 
of a domain?
