Does anyone know how to change it so when you logon your mapped drives automatically connect without having to enter your password in each time

Use your favorite text editor to create a .BAT file, with command lines
like "net use x: \\PCname\share /persistent:yes <password>"

Then create a link in your Startup folder to that .BAT. When you boot,
XP will invoke the .BAT file to recreate the mapping.

You may need to tailor the net use commands for your environment; see
XP's Help facility for clues if your first guess doesn't make it.
