[QUOTE="Rayures, post: 516804, member: 83232"] It should be possible to tell windows vista to remember the network drive user/pass and to login automaticly. Strange that this does not work. A workaround is indeed to create a user/pass on the htpc with permissions on the server. And of course you do not want to type in your user and pass every time the htpc is started, so: [I]click Start and type netplwiz in the Search field and then press Enter. Click Continue when the User Account Control window appears. From the User Accounts window that appears, verify that your own user account is selected. Clear the Users must enter a username and password to use this computer option and click OK. Provide the password for your user account when prompted and restart your computer. Vista will automatically log on with your user account.[/I] an other workaround is to create a batch script (.bat) on the htpc with something like: [I]net use <DRIVE LETTER>\\network_computer_name\shared_name PASSWORD /user\DOMAIN\USERNAME /p:y[/I] and run it every time the htpc starts (startup folder in startmenu?) good luck!
