I know that in Windows XP Professional edition you can store network password to network shares/volumes off of servers, and you can also go to the Control Panel > User Accounts > ACCOUNT NAME > Manage My Nettwork Passwords and in XP Pro, you can add a server and password to the list, but in home you cannot save Network Passwords and there is no "Add" button to the list in your manage my network passwords. Is there some othe way i can store them, you see the problem i have a network script that runs when you login, but the problem is, the network script pulls from a share on the server, but the server wants u to login again to get access the script, even though its the script itself that logs you in. Any info? P.S.: It's only one Windows XP Home computer this happens to, all the others it doesnt, and the computer is the exact same kind and they are all brand new, but for some reason just one of this has this problem. Please contact me via e-mail if you have any information. Thank You! (e-mail address removed)
 
This is the touble with using the HOME version of XP. There are limitations to the network and share capablities. This is the nature of the beast

The work around is a) run the script to map drives after login or b) upgrade
to XP Pro.

Then there is something wrong with the script, or with permsisions
associated with the ID in which you logged in.
