    Hi,
    This worked for me...
    First, you need have a "Shared Folder" on your hard drive. If you
    haven't got one already, create a new folder on your hard drive called
    "Shared", then right-click it and select properties. Click the Sharing
    tab and tick the "Share this folder" box. Next, click "My Computer" and
    in the Tools Menu, click "Map Network Drive". Notice the little
    down-arrow next to the drive letter shown. Click the arrow to get a list
    of letters. Select the one you want to delete, then browse for your
    Shared folder and select it. By this means, you will assign the drive
    letter to a real folder. Make sure the "reconnect at login" box is
    un-ticked. Click the Finish button to get a warning. Answer YES and the
    Shared folder will open. Close it. Next, right-click the drive in My
    Computer and select disconnect. Ah, I hear you say, but it is still
    there! Re-boot and have another look - enjoy!
    Ted
