To map a network drive at startup just use the NET USE command in your script. Here's an extract from the MS Help for this.

Net use
Connects a computer to or disconnects a computer from a shared resource, or displays information about computer connections. The command also controls persistent net connections.

net use [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume]] [password | *]] [/user:[domainname\]username] [[/delete] | [/persistent:{yes | no}]]

net use devicename [/home[password | *]] [/delete:{yes | no}]

net use [/persistent:{yes | no}]

Parameters

none

Used without parameters, net use retrieves a list of network connections.

devicename

Assigns a name to connect to the resource or specifies the device to be disconnected. There are two kinds of device names: disk drives (D: through Z:) and printers (LPT1: through LPT3:). Type an asterisk instead of a specific device name to assign the next available device name.

\\computername\sharename

Specifies the name of the server and the shared resource. If computername contains blank characters, enclose the entire computer name from the double backslash (\\) to the end of the computer name in quotation marks (" "). The computer name may be from 1 to 15 characters long.

\volume

Specifies a NetWare volume on the server. You must have Client Service for NetWare (Windows 2000 Professional) or Gateway Service for NetWare (Windows 2000 Server) installed and running to connect to NetWare servers,

password

Specifies the password needed to access the shared resource.

*

Produces a prompt for the password. The password is not displayed when you type it at the password prompt.

/user

Specifies a different user name with which the connection is made.

domainname

Specifies another domain. For example, net use d:\\server\share /user:admin\mariel connects the user identifier mariel as if the connection were made from the admin domain. If domainname is omitted, the current logged on domain is used.

username

Specifies the user name with which to log on.

/delete

Cancels the specified network connection. If the user specifies the connection with an asterisk, all network connections are canceled.

/home

Connects a user to the home directory.

/persistent

Controls the use of persistent network connections. The default is the setting used last. Deviceless connections are not persistent.

yes

Saves all connections as they are made, and restores them at next logon.

no

Does not save the connection being made or subsequent connections. Existing connections are restored at the next logon. Use the /delete switch to remove persistent connections.
