Map network drive password

I have a network drive mapped but every time I go to look at it I have to enter the password.  How do I save this so the user doesn't always have to enter the password.

Map from Windows Explorer... Tools, Map Network Drive and click on the option to use a different user name. This will allow the password to be saved.
I think what mike said will work but only for that session ie. if the user logs off and back on they will still have the mapped drive but they will have to enter the password again.   Is the computer on a domain? If not a domain are the computers in the same work group?

I created a batch file and it worked great.  I wish it didn't show the black box and code that is running though.

Sorry, I posted the last comment above from my N97 and I've just discovered that the newlines are coming through funny. Here goes again...

put

@echo off

at the top of the script and it will hide the content executing. You can also

echo Please wait... setting up network connection...

if you right click on the batch file, you may be able to set it to run minimized
