it is worth noting that you can simply avoid the drive mapping all
together and do net use without a drive mapping. Drive mappings are
EvilBadThings anyway - just start using unc properly...

You may still get other user related problems but the drive mapping
itself will go away.

Windows is not so nice about maintaining independence between multiple
users on the same machine when it comes to network connectivity (I
sometimes get issues with my approach where the net use delete seems
to affect both users...

The alternate is to not delete the use but this can lead to netbios
resource leakage...
