Likely you have an old password stored in the XP password cache. &nbsp;As the user who is having problems, go to control panel &gt;&nbsp;User Accounts &gt;&nbsp;Advanced &gt;&nbsp;Manage Passwords and remove anything listed there which is related to the mapped drive.<br />
<br />
Disconnect the mapped network drive and ensure all existing connections to that server are removed<br />
Best way to do this is to check from a command line using &quot;net use&quot;.<br />
If anything remains enter &quot;net use x: /d&quot;<br />
<br />
Then remap the drive. &nbsp;It should just map without prompting for a password. &nbsp;Ideally put this drive mapping in a login script.
