Is there anyway to recover a mapped drive that was disconnected without knowing the server address or name? I do not want to browse through over 85 server ips to find the correct one.

From googling "windows history of mapped drives" i came upon this.

Doing a quick search of my reg, I found the following keys contain drive map history: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU HKEY_USERS\ \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU

I've just checked my own registry and it seems to work.

Lots of others will be findable by searching for 'MRU' apparently.
