Typing in all upper case is considered to be shouting. Please don't.
On the XP PC, create a .BAT file to map the network drives, then create a
link to that .BAT file in your Startup folder to cause that .BAT to
be invoked on reboots.
In the .BAT file, add one command line per mapped drive, like these:
Net Use X: \\PCnameA\ShareNameA /User:AccountNameA /persistent:yes PasswordA
Net Use Y: \\PCnameB\ShareNameB /persistent:yes PasswordB
Net Use Z: \\PCnameC\ShareNameC /persistent:yes
Pause
The specifics of the Net Use commands depend on your network. You may
want to run CMD, then type NET USE /? in the CMD window to get some
clues; then you'll need to experiment a bit.
After getting the .BAT to work on your network, you can delete the
Pause command.
