Create a script. Call it "mapdrv.cmd" and save it someowhere.. Make a
shortcut to in your startup folder (or create the script itself in your
startup folder.)

Your startup folder is located:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOURPROFILENAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

That script would have that line in it..

subst m: "e:\my documents\my music"
