A good article briefly describing the setup can be found herehttp://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/jp107/xp-remote/ssh-map/
General info describing the drive mapping you can find in say

There's also nice article @ Windows IT Magazinehttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/38952/38952.html

To find how to manage this with various credentials refer to

from Any Client Computerhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/826902
