Problem: I have a few new Windows XP installs, and they aren't offering to remember the password for my mapped network drives.

Solution: Disconnect the problematic drive, open up the command prompt and use this command: NET USE U: \COMPUTERNAMESHARENAME /PERSISTENT:YES /SAVECRED

This maps the drive and offers the option to remember the password. I've tested this and it's worked successfully on 3 computers.
