Neil, Paul,
Many thanks.
It looks like I will be going down the batch-file-at-startup route as from
a bit more digging, it seems the "remember credentials" feature
was
specifically excluded from XP home & MCE versions and is present only
in XP
Pro :-/
I'd rather not have passwords as plain text in the batch file so would like
to roll it into an exe - can anyone recommend a (preferably) free utility
for this that doesn't then load the exe with viruses etc.?
Many thanks,
Tim.
