drives? Ok here is my issue. A user tried to map a network drive on XP home... they are not asked to save the username/password they way they are asked on XP Pro.... is there a way to turn this feature on?

XP Home is not compatible with domains, so if this is a domain forget it.If it is just general mapping then as long as the user has an account on the workgroup and that is what they are using to log into their system they will be able to map drives without having to reenter their information.Again, they have to have access to those mapped resources, if they do not they will be prompted to enter the credentials of a user that does after each reboot or log off.

XP home is not for networking, but I haven't tried it but you can go to a command prompt and type:net use ?
