Folder sharing between computers.

I have setup sharing of a folder A on computer B, with username C, and password D on a LAN.

In computer E on the LAN I can open up the "My Network Places, find computer B, be prompted for the username and password, type in C and D and the share is successful and I see folder A on computer B and can access the files according to my permissions.

I can then map folder A in computer B to drive f: on computer E successfully, clicking the "Reconnect at logon" checkbox. Everything is successful.

If I now start a new session of Win2k on computer E either by restarting or logging off and logging on again I am prompted to enter password D each time for the share to take effect.

I want to be able to automatically supply password D for the share without having to type it in each time I logon to Win2k on computer E. This tells me that I must issue a "net use ..." command before I am prompted for the password of the share, unless there is some other way to automate it. How can I do this so that I do not have to manually supply the password for the share each time I logon ?
