Default Cant disconnect Network drive in vista :(

Ive got a desktop pc with Vista ultimate and an acer laptop with xp installed.
Computers were networked with a wireless router and i had network mapped the
hard drive of my laptop on my pc.
Than my Laptop had a major crash and i had to reinstall windows xp on it.

The mapped network drive still appears in my computer with a red X over it.
I try to disconnect the network drive and it wont let me. I get an error
"This network connection does not exist"

How can i get rid of the mapped network drive? Or even just delete it, Its a
major Eyesore in My computer

Thanks for the advice but i am not familiar with this command.
You'll have to forgive me but I'm a noob when it comes to networking.
How and where do I use this command?
Thanks
