Many ways to go about doing this, generally this a permissions issue on the machine hosting the shared directory.
Try mapping the drive from "My Computer" using Tools > Map Network Drive. Fill in the appropriate share path then click the text link that reads "Connect using a different name" you can enter a different username/password there. If you check the box to reconnect at logon it will continue to map the drive after a reboot. The command for creating shares is "net use", its good for scripts or autostart stuff. net use [DriveLetter:] "[\\ComputerName\ShareName]" password /user:username net use N: "\\computer-1\thanes warez" foobar /user:foo -Tharin O.

I'm sharing a folder on one and mapping it on the other and drive N: - it wants a username/password (which has to be entered each time.) I know I've setup XP Pro like this where it just remembered the password and didn' t prompt everytime. How do I do this so it just maps on boot up and doesn't bother me? T
