Mapped drives: Disconnected until double clicked

I have a few scripts that transfer files to my Apple TimeCapsule, which I've mapped as Z drive on my HT-PC. A lot of times the mapped Z drive will show as "disconnected" until I double click it. Then everything starts working as expected.

Obviously this defeats the whole purpose of automating things...

The solution is this little gem: MapDrive

Set it up as instructed, and you're good to go. Easy peasy.

I've got mine set up in:
  • Windows startup folder
  • A file that runs before starting up XBMC
