SYMPTOMS
Shares that are no longer available on the network may be displayed in My Network Places. When a computer that shares a resource is removed from the network, the entries in My Network Places may remain.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the operating system has an &quot;age out&quot; period for these resources. The age out period is 48 hours. After 48 hours, the share is not displayed in My Network Places.

Additional query words: persistent connections
