How do I get windows xp home edition to store password information when accessing a server?

When I connect to a share via UNC, i am prompted for a username and password but the check box to save them isn't available.  Is there a way to enable or another solution?

have you thought about drive mapping

net use r: \\servername\sharename username password

I can simply add the username and password to the end of the mapping?  Do I need to put a colon in anything in too?
sorry this is the full syntax

net use r: \\servername\sharename  /user:domain\username password
Thanks, this is not a domain but I am assuming I can put the workgroup name in there instead. Correct?
you need to change the server name sharename domian username password and the drive leter if you want

Basibcally ebrything in the speech m,rks
net use r: \\"servername"\"sharename"  /user:"domain"\"username" "password"
thank you kindly.  I will try and get back to you
just take out the domain if you are in a workgroup (i think i will check)
