    Is there a way to write a script to run after login that will connect to a
    computer using the computer name (i.e. \\server ) instead of having to
    assign a network drive to a share on the computer?

    I have a script that maps a drive letter to a network share, but it fails on
    login because it can't find the network path.
       net use z: \\server\share password /user:admin /persistent:yes

    After I am logged in I can manually login to that computer like this
    start > run > \\server
    authentication window pops up
    I enter the username and password, and then I am connected.

    I can do this but the office girl can't remember to do this, so I want to
    automate it with a script that runs on start up

    both computers are stand alone (no domain controller). The server runs
    win2k, the client runs xp pro.

    thanks for your help
