重新启动后USB共享丢失

Question

I'm having a constant problem with a shared folder on a USB powered external drive being lost after a reboot/resume. When this happens, I need to recreate the share each time.

I've seen similar questions on the net, but nobody seems to have a good answer.

I'm using this share on a secondary PC to make backups to, so it's rather important that the share remains active.

Answer 1

I don't know if this is totally the answer for you, but it's relevant to a very similar experience that I've had to deal with. If the mapping is occurring from a logon script that needs to execute prior to the full user profile from loading, the following might apply to you:

Registry Key:  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Value Name:  RunLogonScriptSync
Data Type:  REG_DWORD
Value:  0 The logon script and Windows Explorer can run simultaneously.
Value:  1 Windows Explorer does not start until the logon script has finished 
        running.

Try setting the specified valuename to a REG_DWORD of 1. This will force scripts and mappings to occur before loading Explorer. Even if you're not sure that this really applies to you, give it a shot and let me know.

Hope that helps!!

FYI - There is also a similar key for HKLM that will apply to all users.
