Mapped Drive Names Not Updating

When I arrive at the office, and I run netsetman to update my network settings - one of the things it is supposed to do is disconnect my previous 'Home' mapped drives and then connect to the mapped drives I have assigned for my 'Office' profile.

After the process completes succesfully, the mapped drive 'names' still reflect the mapped drives from my 'Home' profile. 

Although when I click on one of the 'incorrectly labeled' mapped drives - they do actually resolve to the correct 'Office' location, but alas, the mapped drive name still shows what it was called when I was at 'home' - granted, the functionality is still there, but it is an annoyance for I have to guess which 'Home' mapped drive is actually a specific 'Office' mapped drive in disguise and it turns into a click-click-click exercise.

Anyone else experiencing this behavior?

What can I do to resolve?

Thanks!

What is it like when you do this without NSM but with the normal Windows interface? Same or different behaviour?
What OS do you use?

Actually I think that's some kind of Windows setting and has little to do with NSM. Maybe you have a tweak program to optimize the speed of Windows and updating dive names is disabled.

For mounting network drives NSM uses some common interfaces provided by Windows. I don't know what problem might be there but I will have a look.

I never could get it to work correctly. I just use netsetman for stuff like ip and dns, but for mapping I use vbs or bat like the olden days
