  1. how to rename/forget a saved network drive name?


    I created a WebDAV server on my Android phone and mapped it to a network drive in Windows Explorer (Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1110)). Initially the drive was named "DavWWWRoot (\\192.168.1.2@8080) (Zhow to rename/forget a saved network drive name? :)". I wanted to rename the drive to "Galaxy S8 (\\192.168.1.2@8080) (Zhow to rename/forget a saved network drive name? :)", so I right-clicked the drive, clicked "Rename", but accidentally typed over the characters representing the internal IP and port number, so now the drive is named "Galaxy S8 (Zhow to rename/forget a saved network drive name? :)". How do I get the IP address and port number to appear in the drive name again? Is there a way to "forget" the remembered drive name and have it be reassigned from scratch again? I've already tried disconnecting and reconnecting the drive and it is automatically assigned the name "Galaxy S8 (Zhow to rename/forget a saved network drive name? :)".

    :)

  2. Forget a WiFi Network

    Hi Jess,

    Windows 10 saves a list of Wi-Fi networks you connect to along with their passwords and other settings. If you want to manage or delete a certain network, just follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Settings on the search box.
    • Click Network & Internet.
    • Click Wi-Fi on the left pane of the Network & Internet window.
    • Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
    • Select the network name and click Forget.

    Note: Since you can't remember the network name you've connected with, you can consider forgetting all saved Wi-Fi networks on your PC.

    Let us know how it goes.
