Automation of XP Home logon to NT server

[Guest]

I know there are registry changes that can be made to automate logon of an XP Home client to an NT server. Does anyone have them (or know where to look, I have not been successful searching the MS Knowledge Base...)
Thanks!

you can use tweakui to do that without editing the reg.

I'm guessing by "logon" you mean automatically reconnect to shares, since XP
Home cannot log onto an NT domain. If so, see the Tech Tips and Downloads
page at

I have a sample batch file there called "EasyMap" that might help.

Thanks! Sounds like just the thing... but...
I run it and it comes up "System Error 53:The network path was not found".
Am I missing a step?
I am in a small office 'workgroup' (not 'domain') enviromnment with an NT
server that controls a network printer, and also contains a drive for
'dragging and dropping' pictures, documents, etc. to the front desk and
advertising people. Currently I have to 'sign in' twice (once for each of
these server functions) by typing my user name into the logon box that pops
up when I try to access the drive via Explorer. There are other XP Home
computers in the workgroup which have been set up to automatically do this
when they boot... but the 'administrator' who did it has moved and can't get
here on a regular basis... and no one here knows what he did! (Including
me!) Is your program meant for such a setup? If so, why doesn't it locate
the server in this case? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yikes. As it turns out, it's just a matter of mapping the drives. Good
grief... I'm learning!
Thanks for your help!

Your welcome. I'm glad it worked out.
