XP Home Mapped Drive not reconnecting at login

L

Larry

I have a workgroup p2p network with a xp pro system
acting as a server (running a sales/quoting software
program) and four xp home edition pc's. The sales/quoting
program requires a mapped drive for the shared program
folder on the xp pro server system in order to run the
install and setup. The issue is the home edition pc's do
not auto reconnect to the mapped drive when the systems
reboot. Is there a way to use the "net use" command to
force the xo home systems to reconnect at login? all the
home systems have the same user accounts as the xp pro
system as well. thanks in advance for any help

You're on exactly the right track for circumventing XP Homes inability to
auto reconnect.

I have a sample batch file there called "EasyMap" for this purpose.
