If all else fails, save this as something like net_logon.bat and put it in your XP startup directory (you'll need to change details appropriately):

Code:

@echo off

echo Setting up network drives, please wait.....

NET USE X: \\<Server>\<FolderPath> /USER:<Server>\<UserName> <Password>

echo Setup complete.....

pause

This Maps \\<Server>\<FolderPath> to X using the credentials <UserName> and <Password> for an account that exists on the server. Provided the account has access to that share it should work ok.

Forgot to say, this actually re-maps the drive every time you login rather than mapping it persistently.

Oh, yeah, and it's not a very pretty/elegent solution either

In fact, it's a god awful hack
