When you static map a drive (either through network neighborhood or via net use) it adds an entry automatically to the registry.
The entry is placed in HKEY_CURRENTUSER\NETWORK\(Drive Letter)
Each entry has the following keys added to it...
----------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\Q]
"RemotePath"="\\\\server name\\share name"
"UserName"=".CN=username.OU=tree.O=root"
"ProviderName"="NetWare Services"
"ProviderType"=dword:00030000
"ConnectionType"=dword:00000001
----------------------------------------------------------
However, in using this (static mappings) you are greatly enhancing the amount of work you'll have to do to maintain or make changes to the network.
