Hello

I am using the Windows XP Home operating system on a laptop with a wireless connection. I need to be able to map a network drive to our server automatically without the user having to put in a username or password. I created a .vbs script file that uses the MapNetworkDrive subroutine to make the connection. The problem I am having is getting the script to run automatically each time a user logs on. I am familiar with group policy in Windows 2000 but I am not aware of similar features in Windows XP Home. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Carlos

Simplest way
Add it to the users startup folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Harder
Add it to the run key in the users registry hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
