Login Script indicating open files

When I log into my Windows 2000 domain, my login script stops with the
following message:

There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the
connection to m:.
Is it OK to continue disconnecting and force them closed?

It only stops when trying to map the M: drive and it only does it on a few
machines throughout the office. Is there a way to force the disconnection so
the user is not prompted to do so?

Here is the login script itself:
if exist G: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete g:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use G: \\blah blah
if exist I: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete I:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use I: \\blah blah

if exist J: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete J:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use J: \\blah blah

if exist L: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete L:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use L: \\blah blah

if exist M: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete M:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use M: \\blah blah

if exist N: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete N:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use N: \\blah blah

if exist O: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete o:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use O: \\blah blah

if exist W: %SystemRoot%\system32\net use /delete w:
%SystemRoot%\system32\net use W: \\blah blah

TIA,
Chad

Download and install handles.exe from www.sysinternals.com. Then run it on
the server. It will tell you which files have handles open to them. Then
you can compare them to whatever share you are trying to connect. Then you
can see who has the files open.

I hope this helps

Hi Chad

If this is SBS DON'T map drive M: it is used by Exchange
