Network Resource Password...

[Ian Francis]

Does anybody know how to make Windows XP remember usernames and passwords
for network resources like shared folders? I am currently running Windows
XP Home edition and have all my files and mail stored on a server running
Exchange (and acting as my internet gateway). I am finding that everytime I
use the internet, e-mail, or any of my files I am asked my username and
password.

Any help would be apprecieated,

Ian

This is because you have Windows XP Home. Home cannot become part of a
domain, although it can use domain resources by authentication (exactly
the way you are doing it). If you want to join your machine to the
domain, you'll have to upgrade to Windows XP Professional and have your
sysadmin create an account for you on the server.
