Auto connecting to a shared printer.

[Guest]

In our office there is a domain for the office owned Windows XP Pro PCs and a
workgroup for individual's Window XP Home PCs. I have a Windows XP Home
Laptop which is part of the workgroup. On the domain there is a large shared
printer with I can access, but only by going into Start / Run and then
entering "net use \\domainname\printername username:xxxxx password:xxxxx". Is
there a way to have this command executed at bootup, and/or to have it in a
form that I can click on as it as an icon on the desktop and start it as
needed?

Thanks for any help.

Not without upgrading to XP Pro. XP Home does not cache (remember)
credentials.
