Keeping a network share
I have a users using Windows Vista Home Premium. Everytime they reboot, their
network share logs out, and they have to log back in to the share. I would like it if it stuck after every reboot. Anyone have any sggestions on how to keep it logged in? Kevin

Try these.
1. make sure the user has full control of the shared folder. 2. use UAC (user account control) tool to manage the password. To do that, please follow these steps. a. Open User Accounts by opening control panel or type User Accounts in Start. b. Click Manage your network passwords on the side menu. c. Select Add to add the user or Edit if the user existing. d. Check A Windows logon Credential in Credential type and click OK to save. 3. make sure "Reconnect at logon" is checked If that doesn't work, try to create logon batch file to map the drive with persistent switch.

Robert,
What if Windows logon Credential is greyed out beacuse it's Vista Home Premium? At least that's the only reason I can think it's greyed out.

Unfortunately, that's normal with Home versions. One solution (with XP
Home) has been to run a batch file from startup. Although the same idea applies for Vista, UAC blocks the batch from running from the startup folder. It can be run from a shortcut on the desktop after startup. net use X: \\server\sharename /USER: usernamme password (drive letter optional) __ "Kevin" wrote in message ...

You can also do this without batch files or plaintext passwords.
Create an account on the remote machine with the same username/ password Vista Home Premium logs on with, and Vista will automatically map the shares at startup. I can confirm that this works for Vista Home Premium trying to access shares on a Win2k machine. On Sep 11, 10:43 pm, "GTS" wrote: Unfortunately, that's normal with Home versions.
