how do I tell XP to save the password when mounting a shared folder?

swapjim · Dec 24, 2015

One of my desktops runs XP. I have mounted a shared folder in a machine that's located on my LAN by opening cmd and typing this:

Code:

net use m: \\192.168.1.3\movies

I was asked for the password, and the mount was successful. Problem is, when I restart the computer, XP doesn't remember the password.

Is there a way to tell Windows XP to remember the password so I won't have to type it again when I restart?
