I bet there's some core code that is still from Windows 1 :-)

Don't remember the last machine I used with an "A" drive, but the same 
happens with CDs and DVDs that it can't read properly.

As I said, if I unmap the drives the problem goes away.  Issue is that I 
don't want to have to remap them everytime I connect to the network they're 
on!

I just couldn't find the "Only try to connect once to mapped drives until 
the network connection is changed" checkbox...

Yes.
