When FreeCommander starts (almost first thing after starting windows

After making a VPN connection, I get an error when I click on a favorite which is on the network drive.
(I wait several seconds (20-30) after the VPN is establised, before clicking on the favorite)
Error: "The system cannot find the path specified. S:\Example\Sub Example"
I have to select drive "S" first in the "drive pul-down menu", before the favorite works.
