Connect to another domain fileserver

I have a few users here on my own domain who once or twice a week need to connect to a fileserver in another domain. No trusts exist.

I've tried doing the 'map a network drive' but the drive keeps disconnecting, then when the user tries to reconnect, it ends up locking the account for incorrect password attempts (no clue why). So I created a .bat file to map the folder, prompt for a password, copy the files, and disconnect. That worked fine on Windows XP. The same .bat file however, does not work on Windows 7.

I have created a shortcut straight to the folder for the User, and that worked for a while, but is now not working.

Anyone have a suggestion for the best way for a user to connect to a file share on a file server in another domain? I have very basic users, so the simpler the better.
 
The easiest way is a script, but it would put the password in plain text. The syntax would be:

net use driveletter: \\server\share /user:domain\username password
