I have an XP home machine that has a drive mapped to an XP Pro machine on a
home network. Every time the XP home box is rebooted, it cannot reconnect
the mapped drive because it doesn't remember the username or password to the
XP Pro box. Is there some way to make this happen so that when the XP home
machine is rebooted it automatically reconnects mapped network drives?

TIA
 
I failed to mention that I have already clicked the 'Reconnect at Logon' and
have filled in the 'connect using a different user-name' ...

You need to create a user account and password on the XP Home box that
is identical to the one on the XP Pro box. Then authentication will be
automatic.
