How to save a mapped drive password in XP

The manage network passwords utility in XP doesnt have an add password function so you have to go to the command prompt and use the following :

NET USE U: \\NETHOME\USERID /PERSISTENT:YES /SAVECRED

This will prompt you for the Username and password and store them.

  1. Doug, Thanks for the help. I just wanted to specified that the USERID refers to the shared drive that is being connected on the network.
