I have noticed that when I start up my system in Windows 2000 I have to re-enter my password to all the different drives that I have mapped. On Windows 98 machines this does not happen. Can anyone please tell me how I can prevent it from asking each time so that I can log straight in.

Thanks
 
run a logon script - net use for each mapping - you can supply password to it?
 
Thanks, the only problem is we are not on a domain it's a workgroup with no login script, is there a way around this.
 
You don't need domain for logon script. You can specify them in group policy editor (run gpedit.msc)
Computer Configuration|Windows Settings|Scripts (startup) - default location \WINNT\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup
User Configuration|Windows Settings|Scripts (logon)
default location \WINNT\system32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon

Or you can supply logon script in profile details for user (run lusrmgr.msc) - default location \WINNT\system32\Repl\Import\Scripts.
