Re: How to add XP Home Remember password option?

Hi,

Big computer companies still sell desktop and laptop computers with
Windows XP Home to offices,

Not to offices with cranky sysadmins who think XP Home is crap!

where users suffer from it's missing
ability to remember network passwords. When you try to log into any
server or domain there isn't an option "remember password" as in
Windows XP Pro. That also means if one tries to connect with MSIE Windows
XP Home
laptop to office
Sharepoint services, one has to enter the password each time without
remembering option in the "Connect to ..." user name and password
dialog box.

Is there any way to add "remember password" option to Windows XP Home?
Is there any good 3rd party application which might help?

If sellers could point out this missing capability, many users had
chosen XP Pro instead. Unfortunately it has turned out like a secret,
which most salesman haven't ever heard about and users next option is
to buy a at least full Retail XP Pro upgrade, as there isn't any
other updates fro XP Home OEM version.

One other option, clumsy and highly insecure though it is, would be to set
up batch files with net use commands that would authenticate the users once,
so subsequent connections wouldn't ask.

net use x: \\server\share /user:DOMAINNAME\username password
or
net use x: \\computername\share /user:COMPUTERNAME\username password
