So I figured out a solution for this, thought I would post
in case any one else runs across it...

Create a .bat file and include the following:

@echo off
net use z: \\ipaddress\share /USER:admin account password
drop this .bat file in the startup folder on the computer
and it works like a charm...mine looks like this:

@echo off
net use u: \\192.168.20.43\jobs /USER:admin jeremy

use the @echo off so the pass doesn't flash on the screen
when it connects.

Hope someone finds this useful.
