mapping network drive under winxp

[mee987]

I need to map a network drive under winxp that uses a login/password that is different from my winxp user login. when mapping the drive, there is an option to use a different user/pass than the current user, but after i restart it forgets all about that. after restarting it tries to reconnect the network drive and it cant login because its using my winxp user name (Ben Kohler) again instead of my login for the network drive (bjk4hf).

is there any way to get winxp to remember the login that i tell it for a network drive?

maybe put a .bat file in your startup folder, like this

net use P: \\yourserver\yourshare /useromainname\username password

ie run a .bat file on startup that uses the "net use" command to map the drive with the correct user/password for that share

i can't get the smilie out of it, it should be /user colon domainname , etc
