I have 3 drives that are getting maped in a logon script. When I
double click 2 of them through Windows Explorer (Vista PC) it opens
them so I can then browse to the folder I need. When I double click
on the other one it trys launching an .exe that I have in the root of
that share. If I delete that .exe then try to double click on it
again it says S:\ Application not found. If i right click on this
share Install or run program is at the top. I can select open or
explore and it will then browse like the other shares do. How do I
make this share, when I double click on it browse and not try to
install?

Thanks in Advance,
Brent

Rename or remove the autorun script (autorun.inf) from the shared
folder. When windows sees autorun.inf, it tries to open the specified
executable. By removing the setup program, Windows can't find it and
will give you an error.

I found and move an autorun.inf file. Still same issue. I can right
click on the share (S:drive) and go to open or explore and browse with
no problems. Why when I right click on that share "install or run
program" is the first option and on the other shares "Explore" is the
first option. The other share browse with a double click.

I got it... After you move that autorun.inf file you have to delete
that local user profile.
