I mapped a network drive under local system account, I mean I login to my machine using local sytem account. Now I logged off and logged into the machine again using some other valid user account, but I couldn't find that mapped drive in my computer explorer, though am able to use that mapped drive in my application. Is this normal?
Is there any way to see all mapped network drives on my system?
I am on a Windows XP machine.

Yes, it's normal. Network connections and drive letters assigned to them are session-local. Normally they disappear upon logout (when the session itself is destroyed) and are re-created by Winlogon when you log in again.
With
Local System
it gets confusing, though.Log in as
Local System
again (psexec -desi cmd
may be useful), then runnet use
to list all connections ornet use * /delete
to disconnect them.
