If you're on a domain, you should use a centralized login script. If you
aren't on a domain, or are on a domain but using an OS that can't join it,
like XP Home, you can't use them, but you could put a batch file in
each/this computer's startup group.

I suggest not making the mappings permanent anyway -

net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no.
