Drive Mappings not reconnecting at startup

I have a Win2000 pro PC hosting a database application. I have the Data folder shared, which the workstations in turn have a drive mapping pointing to the shared data folder. The workstations are running XP Pro, and do not have a domain. When the XP workstations reboot, the drive mappings are not re-connecting. I have to disconnect the drive mapping and then re-map it.  I have "Re-connect on Login" when mapping the drive, but it doesn't apppear to stick.

Any ideas?

I will try the Sirbounty's idea first. If that doesn't work, sounds like I have a great plan b.
I have faced this same problem and found the easiest thing to do is create a batch file:
@echo off
Net use x: \\server\share

and put it in winnt\system32\repl\import\scripts on the PDC and all BDC's, then just mention the batch file in the users profile under logon script
