Hi. I have a NAS box that shares a bunch of critical files. Previously I had the box wide-open: no usernames or passwords. Anybody could come in and do anything that they want. I want to change that.
So, I added usernames and passwords to the NAS box. It works great with Linux. But now my problem is with windows...
If I simply browse to the drive, Windows want to use the username of "Guest" (which I don't like), but at least it offers to remember the password.
On the other hand, if I try to map the shared folder to a drive letter, I can happily enter any username that I want, but it NEVER remembers the password the next time anybody logs on.
OK. Here is what I would like. I would like to have a user account on XP automatically map the network drive when I log in. This means that stupid XP Pro will have to remember the shared password. How do I do this?
Thanks
