Reconnecting mapped network drives under Vista
I fixed this in version 6.80.0058. I would like to have some feedback on this fix. Does it work now? Unconnected drives should reconnect when they are clicked in the tree, or when using menu Tools | Reconnect all mapped network drives.

(Don, hope this all makes sense)
Running Vista Ultimate with Xy 0060
A=mapped drives on PC on local LAN
B=mapped drives on Win2k server on remote LAN via Cisco VPN
-After boot, auto-connected to wireless LAN (5 bars)
-Not connected to VPN
-Load Xy
- A appear in tree with red x (no red circle)
- B appear in tree with red x and red circle
-Hit "reconnect all mapped drives"
-no changed to A or B in tree (no messages/hourglass either)
-single-click A and folder detail appear in right-pane but red x remains in tree
-Connect to VPN
-Hit "reconnect all mapped drives"
-no changed to A or B in tree
-single-click B and right pane displays 'Currently not available (drive letter)
-Load WinExp
-In WinExp
--A appears in tree with green base (only)
--B in tree with red x (only)
--single-click B, 20 second delay/hourglass, right pane displays folder detail
In Xy
--B auto-refreshes immediately after it appears in WinExp and now shows right pane folder detail
-Both Xy and WinExp show B with red x in tree

Thanks! VPN is a problem, I know that. But the other stuff should work. 
In 0058 I "fixed" this but apparently I did not. You don't know by chance whether it worked before 0058??

Don- just wanted to let you know that I have loaded 0066 and the Vista mapped drive issues remain as I described in the above thread.
A couple of other related items I ran into while testing on Vista:
-'Disconnect Mapped Network Drive' option does not work (nothing displayed when selected)
-Once the remote mapped drives are connected, browsing them is slower using Xy vs Win Exp.
Let me know if you want me to test anything.
