<div>You could just put the net use into a batch file that is
included into the
startup.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<div>Neil

persistent - arrghhh! <br><br>
<span style="display:none">&nbsp;</span>



<div id="ygrp-text">


<p></p><div dir="ltr"><br><div>I'm
getting close to fixing this with a
hammer...</div><div><br></div><div>I have a
new NAS and the drive mapping half-works - I enter username and password
and the share pops up. Everything is fine, files served up ok
etc.</div>
<div>However, when I reboot my PC it does not remember the password
and I have to re-enter
it.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I have
entered the NAS username and password onto the relevent page in the drive
map dialog box and ticked the reconnect at logon box.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br></div><div>Google says to add/verify the
credentials via "control...userpasswords2" at the command prompt,
but there is no "add" button, just "properties" and
"remove".</div>
<div>In any event the credentials do not appear
there.</div><div><br></div><div>Other tips
say to use the "net use" command with "persistent" but
again this does not save the
password.&nbsp;</div><div>Regedit reveals the correct drive
letter, path and user ids but there are no entries for
passwords.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've tried on 2 PCs, OSs are XP
home &amp; XP media centre, the NAS is a QNAP
TS-420.</div><div>The windows user account has a password and
is set to auto
log-in.&nbsp;<br></div><div><br></div><div>The
NAS streams to a PS3 no problem, and no requests for passwords, it's just
file access to PCs that's problematic. Sharing folders between various PCs
(i.e. PC to PC) works fine and no passwords are required after
reboots.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Can anyone spot what I've
missed, or am doing
wrong?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tim.</div></div>
<p></p>
