Network passwords ...

On my new laptop I have WinXP Home instead of Pro and it is driving me up the wall that I have to type the username and password every single time I want to access the network.

1. Can I force XP home to save the password (maybe via a regedit?)
2. How can I disable the password prompt on the server side (running some WinXP embedded OS which looks/acts like XP Pro)?
 
You have to provide a password to connect to an XP box over the network, this is by design (otherwise anyone could connect).

What you're looking for is a way to provide the credentials automatically (transparently) so that you dont have to enter them every time.

You could easily map a network drive and provide the credentials, the command could be stuck in a batch file for convinient use:
net use x: \\server\share /user:username password
