Windows Explorer keeps jumping back from network drive to the main windows explorer page
Hi! I have a Windows 7 Professional 32 bit operating system, which is joined to a domain at my workplace. If i open Windows Explorer and open a network drive ( I:\ ), then the Windows Explorer open's it, but after a few seconds later, it jumps back to the main page. It is very annoying. I have 11 network drives, but only on two networks drives occurs this problem. Has anyone met with this problem, or could some give me a clue, how to fix this? Thanks, kampi

How does it work if you disconnect the drives and then re-map? Please also let us know if it works properly in Safe Mode. If the issue persists in Safe Mode, please check if you have correct permissions on the shared folder and all its parents folders.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi Arthur! Our network drives are mapped from a logon script, and these network drives are DFS, so i don't think, that it could be a permission problem, but i can be wrong. Should i still check if the problem persists in Safe Mode? kampi

Hi Arthur! I forgot to tell you, that this failure occurs randomly. It isn't a permanent problem. Sometimes Windows Explorer is acting weird, but sometimes it is working normally. Thanks, kampi
