XP Home connecting to Windows Server

[Guest]

We have a network consisting of 10 XP Home computers connecting to a server
running Windows Server.
When you first start up the XP Home computers the bubble "Could not connect
to all network drives" appears.
When you open My Computer there are red crosses through all the network
drives.
Clicking on one of them brings up the log on window and when you log on with
your username and password you can access that network drive.
You then have to open each network drive in turn to remove the red crosses.
Is there any way of logging onto these drives at start up?

Sorry, the Server is running NT

You could re-connect to them with a logon script like this:

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

Replace the obvious stuff in <> with the correct values, no <>s.
