Reconnect network shares in Parallels Desktop

In OS X I connect with Finder (cmd+k) to a NAS and mount one of it's folders to MyShare. In Parallels I have specified the mounting point of MyShare to X:. Starting the Parallels VM after connecting to the network share, this works fine. However if I:

Loose connection to the network and then reconnect, or
Start the VM before connecting ,
the drive is not mounted properly in Parallels, and I can't access the drive. Throughout, (also while disconnected) Windows Explorer shows the drive as connected. Trying to access it throws an error.

When in this state, I have tried to go to Computer>Map network drive, but MyShare does not show up under psf.

It seems Parallels does not refresh the list of connected drives after VM-start. Is there a way to force this?

If not, can you suggest other ways around this issue (other than restarting the VM)?
