Auto Login into Mapped Drive

Hi!

How can I save the password so that when my laptop boots up that it will automatically login into the mapped drive on our desktop?
The mapped drive requires a password.

Both computers use XP Pro as their operating system.

Thank you in advance.

When you map the network drive, specify that you want to connect using a different user name - a dialog box then pops up to let you enter a username and password. If you choose the option to reconnect at login then it should appear automatically if the username and password are valid on the target machine.

Hi!

I did this and then restarted my computer. It unfortunately does not automatically login to the mapped drive. If I click on my computer. The mapped drive has a line across it. If I click on the mapped drive I am prompted to enter a password. If I enter it then I get a directory of files on the mapped drive.
It does not seem to want to save the password after rebooting.

Any other suggestions?
