DWORD WNetCancelConnection2(

Parameters

lpName

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of either the redirected local device or the remote network resource to disconnect from. If this parameter specifies a redirected local resource, only the specified redirection is broken; otherwise, all connections to the remote network resource are broken.

dwFlags

Specifies a bitmask for the connection type. The following values are defined:

Value	Meaning
0	No stored information about the connection is updated. If the connection was marked as persistent in the registry, Windows will still restore the connection at the next logon. If the connection was not marked as persistent, the function ignores the setting of the CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE flag.
CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE	The user profile is updated with the information that this is no longer a persistent connection. Windows will not restore this connection during subsequent logon operations. Disconnecting resources using remote names has no effect on persistent connections.

fForce

Specifies whether the disconnection should occur even if there are open files or jobs on the connection. If this parameter is FALSE, the function fails if there are open files or jobs.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is NO_ERROR.
