[Win2k]Mapping network drives

[BigDaddy]

I really dislike the Mapping of Network drives in Win2k since it does not remember passwords I am forced to renter them upon every reboot.

Is there any workaround for this

No, there's no way to store credentials to a drive after every reboot. However, I can't think of a reason you'd need to enter credentials unless you're mapping a drive with creds different than the logged on user - is that the case?

[BigDaddy]

the mapped drive is has a username and also a passwords. And this I must input at every reboot. So unless a better fix is found I am using the command line NET USE to map the network drives upon starup.

Is this a domain environment, or are these workgroup machines connecting to a workgroup server?

workgroup

If this is not a domain, and the user mapping the drive does not have the EXACT same username and password on the server you're mapping the drive to, then this is going to happen, no way around it other than using a script which supplies the username/password in a net use command (which you've said you have done).

Too bad theres no hack to implement the same solution that exists in WinXP
