Friggin annoying.

Anyone know how to get XP Home to save a network password.

Freeware to do this perhaps?

Look under internet explorer settings, IIRC.

Is it a mapped network drive? Precede the login (username) with either
the box's name or its domain. E.g.

Solved it for us...

Nada, I don't think that was 'Home'. Just tried with windies and samba, no
checkbox, and won't connect on reboot, prompts for password. I've searched
the web. Home doesn't have the check box to save the password. Some geezer
reckoned that according to M$, it doesn't have the guts to store them
securely, but that can't be right because it stores VPN passwords.

The only solution I've found is using 'net use' in a batch file with
username and password, but that's in the clear.
