Yep, Microsoft XP is weird in this respect. Depending on how you access the file system, it tries to reconnect to network drives. This has nothing to do that you actually want to access the drive. E.g. just by opening "My Computer" in Explorer it tries to reconnect to the defined network drives.
Nothing to worry about - just weird and sometimes annoying.
