This should look something like this: C:\Users\davidd>net use (b) Show any network locations in use by typing “net use”. (a) Get a command prompt by running cmd.exe Delete any network locations the system thinks are still in use from a command prompt: in Windows Explorer right-click on the network location, followed by Deleteģ. Delete any existing “network locations” that use the projectfusion site, i.e. in Windows Explorer right-click on any existing drive-mappings, and choose “Disconnect”.Ģ.
