how do I Automate my login in windows 2000

[eli101]

In windows 2000 how can I log in and windows should not ask me my password again by every network drive (I am connect (mapped) to many network drives and windows ask me again the password by every drive is a way it should not ask me only once)

Are all the resources that you are mapping on a domain or are they standalone? If they are on a domain you should be logging in to the domain and the problem won't exist. If that is not an option, you can manually map the drives from explorer, select the "connect using a different username" option, add the proper credentials, and then choose to reconnect at logon. If you are mapping them via a script you can specify username, password, etc. The last option isn't recommended because your password will held in plain text in the batch file. Again the best course is to logon to the domain (if it exists) from which you are using resources. Hope this helps.

or you could
- create a user on your domain, assign a pasword
- assign rights to those shares using that domain user
- create a user on your local computer, give it the same name & password, log on to your computer using that name and password and then try to map your shares... it should work perfectly... Peter Van Eeckhoutte
