Mapped drives lost

J

john

I have a laptop with XP Home and applications that
require mapped drives. The setup is no problem but each
time the laptop is shutdown the drives don't reconnect at
logon although this option has been selected. The laptop
connects to a desktop also running XP Home via a wireless
access point (811B) with an excellent signal and 11Mbs
rate shown.

Explorer via My Computer shows the red X's and if each
is "double clicked" in turn the connection is re-made and
the apps work fine.

How do I fix the logon connection problem

Thanks
