Auto logon to shared?

[DL]

Is it possible to auto logon to the shared folders/pc rather than having to
input user/password for the sys on which the folders reside?
Thanks

Yes, use the NET USE command, like this:

net use v: \\servername\sharename <password> /user:<username>

Substitute the proper server name, share name, password and username where
appropriate; and remove the brackets <> when making the substitutions.

If you put this into a batch file in the All Users\Programs\Startup folder
it will execute when anyone logs onto the computer.

Thanks, have now googled and found command reference, which as I'm not on a
server, but simply P2P/ethernet I see that I'll need.
I was particularly keen to auto logon to the network printer.

Yes, use the NET USE command, like this:

net use v: \\servername\sharename <password> /user:<username>

Substitute the proper server name, share name, password and username where
appropriate; and remove the brackets <> when making the substitutions.

On reading further I see this is a server specific command?

To use a printer:

net use lpt1: \\servername\printershare <password> /user:<username>

No, it works on any Windows 2000/XP version.

Well I tried this;
net use USB1: \\servername\printershare <password> /user:<username>
Where 'servername' was the sys name in the workgroup, of the printer
'hosting' sys
Printer was unavailable.

It seems I have to logon - ,<username> <password> (as an administrator on
host) to access the host sys shared resources.
It seems unclear to me whether a Net Use command will cater for that?
(this is my Wifes/kids sys I dont mind them using printer and a couple of
folders, but keep them clear of anything else, including admin passwords!)
thanks

USB1 is not a valid host name for a network printer - it needs to be LPT1.

Thanks,was afraid it was something like that.
I take it I cannot utilise Net Use to auto logon to the workgroup/host sys?

Perhaps cause I could'nt see a command that appeared relevent, but then I'm
a little fraught having spent considerable time attempting to get an Adaptec
Raid Controller working/config on a sys

Why would you think that?
